- 20th October 2011 Report by Simon Lee A good crowd of volunteers, who had pledged their support to the Neighbourhood planning process the village has agreed to undertake, met to discuss the first steps in our plan. Agenda Explanation of the Process Agree the Working Groups Set the timetable for Phase 1 Simon Lee, the plans sponsor, explained the initial process. As our plan must be all encompassing and canvass as wide option as possible, a number of key subjects areas were put forward to the group.
Each of the Sub Committee groups were put up on the wall and volunteers were asked to visit each Committee area in turn and discuss, evaluate the suggested topics and add comment and new areas for future discussion and investigation. Volunteers who then asked to sign up for one or two groups they have a particular interest in and this formed the six Working Group Sub Committees. Sub Committee 1 Environmental (click here to view) Sub Committee 2 Infrastructure (click here to view) Sub Committee 3 Residents Groups (click here to view) Sub Committee 4 Village Groups (click here to view) Sub Committee 5 Leisure and Education (click here to view) Sub Committee 6 Housing and Employment (click here to view) Each group then appointed a Foreman who would take responsibility for convening the first Sub Committee meetings and kick things off. These initial meetings must take place before 29th November. The foreman will then be responsible for attending the first Steering Group meeting to report their groups’ initial findings and approach. Pro forma scoping sheets were issued to the groups. These sheets suggest how they may approach their area of investigation. (Also available on the web site). Click here for briefing sheets.
