Parishes considering undertaking a Parish Plan Dry Drayton Girton Fen Ditton West Wratting

To date all but Linton’s Action Plan have been considered by the Parish Plan LSP sub-group to see if there are any actions that should be forwarded onto partner agencies / other groups for comment and/or action. Linton’s Action Plan was completed some years ago and so ACRE recently met with the Parish Council to gain an updated picture and the sub-group will consider this revised Action Plan on 24 January. Should Eltisley have completed their Plan by this date the group will also consider their Action Plan.

At the sub-groups last meeting in September a Parish Plan statement was reviewed which shows how Parish Plans fit with the work of the District Council and LSP. A copy of this document was sent to all Parish Councils before Christmas and is attached overleaf.

Coordination of the above work (plus the support provided to groups undertaking a Parish Plan) is funded through the Cambridge shire Rural Social and Community Programme (RSCP) which is due to end in March 2008. Work is currently underway to investigate how to mainstream this beyond April 2008
