Class 3 - What our priorities are and how we are doing

Strategies and plans, performance indicators, audits, inspections and reviews.

Parish Plan - Current and previous year as a minimum

Begun in December 2003 with a Steering Group initially under the Chairmanship of Mr Mike Jones and then Mr Richard Robinson (telephone 01264 810388), in response to the Countryside Agency's aim of helping communities achieve outcomes for 'inclusive communities', 'rural services', 'vibrant local economies', 'sustainable countryside' and 'opportunities for all'.  The Steering Group first met in January 2004 and a grant of £1,687.50 was received from SEERA (SOUTH EAST ENGLAND REGIONAL ASSEMBLY).  Over the following four years information was obtained from electors of the village on issues including road safety, social life/activities, affordable housing, caring community, planning for future development and communication.  Information was collated in producing the Plan and also the Village Design Statement (VDS).  The VDS was presented to the Borough Council in May 2008.

Annual Parish Assembly held each May, most recently 16th May 2007 and 14th May 2008, open to the public and attended by our County and Borough Councillors and local Police representative each of whom gives a brief report on activity for the year.  Copies of the minutes of Annual Assemblies are held by the Clerk.
