Outcomes from Parish Plans
Outcomes of a Parish Plan action plan will depend on the initial issues identified by local people and the solutions proposed. Examples of projects or local improvements that have been the outcome of Parish Plans are:
- Increased volunteering in the Parish to support existing or new groups;
- Development of community space to provide a pleasant area, sports facilities or playground;
- Input into the local planning process via supplementary planning guidance;
- Creation or
expansion of a local community transport scheme;
Improvement of village or community hall; - Work on the local environment (e.g. litter pick);
- Implementation of traffic calming, zebra crossing or extra parking;
- Establish new
social groups requested e.g. rambling, parent and toddler;
- Organisation of social enterprise (e.g. food co-op);
- Increased social activities for whole community including younger and older people;
- Improved parish
communications (e.g. newsletter, website);
- Introduction of community events, celebrations and festivals;
- Development
of local history and heritage (e.g. village book, heritage trail, local
history group);
- Continuation
of existing groups for topics of local interest.
