Introduction In the Government White Paper “Our Countryside, The Future” published in 2000, it was stated that ‘parish (community action) plans are an important step in helping local rural communities to take charge of their own destinies and also an opportunity to strengthen the first, and the most local form of government we have in this country’. Since then several other key papers and guidance have been produced to assist villages understand services and attributes they have and wish to retain or improve on. In addition they describe what is needed to protect and enhance rural areas so that they can remain or become vibrant and sustainable well into the future. Some of these generic and Cumbria-specific documents and strategies include:- Sustainable Communities Act 2007 Pathways of Influence, Community Led Planning-why it matters, Carnegie Trust, March 2008 Charter for Rural Community, Carnegie Trust, 2008 Future Generations-A strategy for sustainable communities in Cumbria 2007-27 Britain’s energy coast – master plan for West Cumbria Local matters – Cumbria County Council Cumbria Economic Plan, (sustaining the rural economy), Cumbria Vision, 2008.

  • Muncaster Parish Plan
    MUNCASTER PARISH PLAN September 2007 Foreword Fellow Parishioners, The Muncaster Parish Plan was made possible by funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) through Voluntary Action Cumbria (VAC) and the willingness, dedication and commitment of members of the Parish Council to take on the task of producing it. So what is the Parish Plan and what is its purpose? Make known those issues that affect our community Identify and prioritise key issues within our community Produce an action plan to promote the changes that the community wants to see at local, district and county levels. Quite simply the plan gives everyone in our community an opportunity and a feel for what you the Parishioner wants. This process started by members of the Parish Council approaching all the groups and businesses within the Parish to ascertain specific ideas and questions that they wished to have included within the questionnaire. This proved to be a worth while exercise and gave us a real feel for how the plan would be shaped and received. Once the questionnaire was formulated, distributed to you and returned a long data-input process ensued and enabled us to extrapolate the information contained within. This document is a summary of the information gathered and the proposed actions to be taken. Details of the questionnaire responses and analysis of the data are available upon request to the Parish Clerk. The results of those processes are contained within this Plan and I commend it to you; after all it is YOUR plan and as such is owned by the Parish.
