Lapworth Parish Plan Steering Group
The Parish Plan Steering Group met on Monday 29th of June to start compiling a list of organisations an businesses in the village that should be consulted about the style and content of the questionnaire which would be used as the basis for a parish plan. There were releatively few of us so only a limited amount of prgress could be made.
It was though by those present that it would be wise to call a recess until the holiday season is over as we are now in the period where many people go away for their holidays.
The intention is to try to strengthen the group by recruiting more members during the summer and to continue with the next meeting in September.
So if you would like to become involved with this and help to influence the future of Lapworth, please contact m.polgreen@virgin.net .
The menu Above will take you to a few websites that were mentioned in the presentations. The Stratford link will take you to many parish plans in the Stratford district.
What is a Parish Plan? A Parish Plan is a vision of how residents would like their town or village to be. For many communities it has been a stepping stone to applications for other grants and an opportunity to really improve their quality of life. The Plan can address any social, economic or environmental issues, such as:
- housing
- transport
- access to services ie. doctor's surgery
- local parks and green spaces
- play groups, childcare, afterschool clubs, etc.
- village halls or other meeting places
- support for local businesses
- building projects - ensuring designs and uses are compatible with existing buildings and their residents (village design statements)
