Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Plan 28 29 Monitoring Responsibility for the Action Plan

The Parish Plan has been developed and produced by the Parish Plan Steering Group under the auspices of the Culcheth & Glazebury Parish Council. The publication of the final plan effectively ends the work of this group.

It is suggested that the group be replaced by the Parish Plan Monitoring Group. This group should have the aims indicated in the Plan. Volunteers for the group should be sought from residents via the website and the Culcheth Life page. This group should report directly to the Parish Council.

It is suggested that the entire Action Plan be reviewed in 5 years and at that time, the Monitoring group should cease to exist and be replaced by a Parish Plan Review Group. Again, volunteers for the group should be sought from residents via the website and the Culcheth Life page. In this way, residents will have several further opportunities to contribute to the development of the Parish.
