Parish Plan
The government has asked Parishes to prepare a Parish Plan for people
living in rural areas, so that they can become fully involved in the
future of their community. An independent committee has been
established to do this on behalf of the residents of Campton and
Chicksands. We would like all of you living or working in the Parish to
“have your say”.
Three events have already taken place for more information
The next event will be a facilitated parish walk to help inform and
gather ideas will also take place on Sunday 5th April at 2.00 p.m.,
starting from the village hall.
All the information collected will then feed into the production of a
Parish Plan Questionnaire to be distributed to everyone in the Parish
during June/July with around ten days for you to complete it.
We expect to have the results by September and will provide a summary
in the October edition of the Parish magazine.
A final Action Plan will then be prepared and presented to parishioners
at the 2010 Annual Parish Meeting, usually held in March or April.
Please join in. It is your Parish and your Plan.
Malcolm Newman,
Chairman Parish Plan Committee.
