Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and it's Town and Community Councils have agreed to consult on a draft Charter which sets out how we collectively aim to work together for the benefit of local communities whilst recognising our respective responsibilities as autonomous, democratically elected statutory bodies.
The Charter is designed to build on existing good practice and embrace the shared principles of openness, to achieve the best possible outcomes for our residents and communities. This Charter is based on equal partnership and is not a top-down arrangement. It is a set of principles by which we will work together.
The intention is that this charter remains a ‘living’ document and is written to allow each Council to adopt a position that better reflects their working rather than stipulated actions and procedures which will help promote joint working to allow all Councils to provide a better experience for those residents and visitors to Rhondda Cynon Taf Council.

The Charter will be fully reviewed every five years following elections or more often if there is a need to do so.
Delivery against the objectives contained will be reviewed annually by Clerks and Senior Democratic Services Officers.
We would like you to have your say on our draft Charter and you can do so in a number of ways.
The consultation will close on the 31 July 2025.
