DCLG laid a legislative reform order before Parliament on 12th January to allow parish and town councils to use electronic communications to send agendas. This comes into force on 30th January 2015.Cllr Ken Browse, chair of NALC said: “ No one knows the local community like we do and this new change to an arcane law shows this in practice. This reform to rules, which are over forty years old, is long overdue but very welcome and will help parish and town councils operate more efficiently and effectively."
