Parliamentary briefings

We produce briefings for MPs and peers on key debates and legislation to outline our position and key priorities for parish and town councils. They provide analysis, evidence, case studies, and recommendations to highlight challenges and opportunities.

National policy decisions directly impact parish and town councils, from planning to funding. Our briefings aim to raise awareness in Westminster, support informed debate, and ensure our sector’s voice is part of parliamentary discussions and decision-making.

We share our briefings with MPs, peers, government ministers, parliamentary researchers, as well as Select Committees and All-Party Parliamentary Groups.
