A Parish Plan for Lidlington?

The Parish Plan:

• Involves and includes everyone in the parish.

• Maps out services and facilities already in the community.

• Discovers what issues and opportunities people feel need addressing.

This information is used to form an action plan to look at how these issues can be tackled.

Why do a Parish Plan for Lidlington?

• It is an opportunity to look forward for the next 5 to 10 years rather than just responding to tasks that need immediate action.

• A Parish Plan provides a collective view of what people in the parish want, providing a stronger voice for the community.

• It provides evidence of need and commitment, which may be used to influence local authorities, service providers and funders.

• It can test or encourage community backing for a project that has already been identified.

• It is an opportunity to bring everyone in the parish together strengthening community spirit & involvement.
