Parish Plan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parish Plans are a form of Community Led Plan.
Parish Plans determine the future of communities and how they can change for the better. They are documents that set out a vision for the future of a parish and outlines how that can be achieved in an Action Plan.
The Parish Plan process may include:
- A Village Appraisal – a household questionnaire to assess needs and aspirations of local people
- Participatory Appraisals – hands-on interactive workshops
- Business Surveys
- Creation of an Action Plan
Rural Community Councils support groups local communities create Parish Plans.
