Issue - decisions

Cheltenham Borough Council endorsed the first version of the Cheltenham Charter in 2008 and it was last refreshed in 2020. The charter formalises the long standing working relationship between the borough council and Cheltenham’s five parish councils through commitments from the borough council to the parish councils and vice versa.

The document was reviewed in 2025 by the parish councils and relevant officers. It was deemed fit for purpose subject to some minor alterations such as updating contact details and names; removing signatures; removing reference to the Gloucestershire Compact and an amendment to the commitment about licensing as weekly list is no longer circulated but all applications are published on the portal. The decision is therefore to approve the updated version.
