From the outset the Parish Council has held a clear vision of a Parish Plan being necessary to ensure the delivery of the future needs of the community and has always expressed that public consultation is a cornerstone of the Parish Plan. This makes the Parish Plan a ‘living document’ built around the future wishes of the community of Atworth and the Parish Council ‘owners’ of the Parish Plan, an important tool to be used to provide for the future needs of Atworth. You can review the Action Plan issues which are on pages 19-23 towards the back of the Parish Plan that was delivered to your home in 2010 or available on-line at the Parish Council website, details below. Since 2010 a number of the Action Plan issues have been addressed and it is perhaps no longer relevant that they remain as part of the Parish Plan and there are those Action Plan issues that are in progress but not yet complete. There will also be those Action Plan issues which it may not be possible to address and these may need to be reconsidered. Also and importantly, since publication of the Parish Plan there will have been change driven by any number of factors and as a consequence of change the wishes and objectives for the future of our community may be different. It is therefore necessary that the Parish Plan is managed as a ’living document’ to accommodate and address achievement and change and updated regularly. Atworth Parish Council wants to consult with the Parishioners it serves and invites your input to update and redefine the future wishes and needs of Atworth at the forthcoming Parish Assembly. If you are able to attend the Parish Assembly in the Village Hall on Wednesday 16th April 2014 from 7PM, the Parish Plan will be on display with a provisional update provided by the Parish Plan Steering Group. Members of the Steering Group will be on hand to discuss achievement and change as it has affected the Parish Plan since September 2010. There will be a ‘graffitti table’ for you to write your thoughts, ideas and wishes for your community for the future. It is recognised that not everyone is able to attend the Parish Assembly so next month we will provide details on other ways you can contribute your thoughts, ideas and wishes for your community for the future and be part of the Parish Plan update. In the meantime if you have any questions please feel free to contact Mitch Roberts, the Parish Clerk or any Parish Councillor.
