Parish Plan
January 2010 update
The Parish Plan Steering Committee would like to thank all the residents in the Parish for their time and support for this initiative over the last 3 years. With your help and feedback the Committee are now able to work on the text, graphs, action plan and supporting documents for the final document.
It is hoped the draft document will be available for consultation with the Parish Council and West Berkshire Council during March/April 2010. We hope to distribute the final document, one to each household, in the Summer.
If anyone is interested in helping with any action/working groups identified in the action plan please contact the Secretary on 01635 247507.
September / October 2009 Update
Don't miss this Autumn's Parish Plan Events:
Saturday 26th September, Chieveley Village Hall, Club Room, 10am-12pm
Saturday 3rd October (Curridge WI Hall) from 10am to 12pm
All members of the parish, young to old, are invited to join members of the planning team for tea, coffee and biscuits and an open discussion of ideas for the plan's next stage of development.
Results from last year's questionnaire, collected from a whopping 80% of all parish households, will be informally presented and the different topics displayed for members of the public to look at.
Following the analysis of the results the team have made progress in highlighting the key issues concerning people within the parish and have outlined a series of objectives to reach.
The Saturday morning open days are an opportunity for everyone with an interest or concern of a particular issue, featured within the questionnaire, to find out more and discuss ideas for action.
There will be a variety of people to meet at the events, all supporting different issues, including an eager group of youths keen to see the instalment of a new skateboard ramp at the Chieveley Recreational Ground
Whether concerned with improving the local bus service or reducing road noise, wanting a new skateboard ramp or a local cinema club, residents keen to see a difference mustn't miss these events.
The seven key topic areas and Focus Group Leaders are:
- Environment/Sustainability Mike Taylor
- Transport/Highways Paul Turner
- Housing/Planning/Development Nick Hodge & Jean Rush
- Leisure, Recreation & Rights of Way Kathy Titcombe & Janice Bridger
- Community Infrastructure Tracy Snook
