Community Led Plan
In February 2020, the Parish Council had just completed and agreed a Community Led Plan(CLP) and intended to present the plan to all parishioners at a launch event in spring 2020, however this was thwarted by the Covid pandemic. We revisited the CLP recently and a resolution was passed in January 2024 to publish the CLP plus an update on the Actions identified in the plan. These are published below, click on each one to view.

If you would prefer to complete the survey online, please follow the link below indicating your preferred options for the Community Hall. Please complete one survey per person in your household.
