Welcome to the website of the Herefordshire Association of Local Councils!

This website is currently being updated. If you have difficulty accessing any of the documents or you need information which is not currently on the website please contact the HALC Office on 01432 353492 or by email to lynda@halchereford.gov.uk

The Herefordshire Association of Local Councils (HALC) represents and works with Parish and Town Councils in Herefordshire.

Councils who are members of HALC have access to:

• Advice on matters facing Parish and Town Councils, e.g. employment and health and safety
• Services and training for councillors & clerks
• Publications and appropriate stationery
• Updates on the latest government legislation

The Clerk and all Councillors have full access to HALC's services, advice and training.

Membership is open to all local councils and parish meetings on payment of a small annual subscription. This subscription covers membership of both HALC and NALC.

HALC is affiliated to the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) which represents about 10,000 town and parish councils in England and Wales.

HALC, along with NALC, promotes the role of local councils as representatives of local democracy and aims to protect the rights of its member councils. We speak for local councils on matters affecting them in relation to Herefordshire Council's decision-making, and consultations and planning made by central government.
