Sherborne Area Action Plan 2014-2017 Sherborne Area Action Plan Sherborne Area Action2010-2013 Plan 2014-2017 May 2014 SHERBORNE AREA ACTION PLAN 2014-2017 FOREWORD I am pleased to commend this new Area Action Plan to everyone who lives in the town of Sherborne and its surrounding parishes. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed in any way whatsoever to the evolution of this important document. Clearly the challenge now is to select specific items from the plan which can be addressed by the Partnership and which can be progressed in the immediate future. It is for this reason that it has been decided we will continue to update, on a six-monthly basis, the key priorities which we are going to concentrate on at any one time. Self-evidently, this is an extremely important development since it will enable us to focus on those concerns which we can address. In this way we hope to be able to make a real difference to the quality of life of local people as we work together towards a stronger community. The Sherborne Area Partnership has been created to play an effective role in community planning and looks forward to working together with all its partners to achieve the goals that have been identified and which are articulated in this Action Plan. David Fifield Chairman 1 INTRODUCTION Local Area Partnerships (LAPs), including that serving the Sherborne Area, were set up as a result of the Local Government Act 2000 which gave local authorities a duty to prepare community strategies that would “improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of each area and its inhabitants and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development in the UK”. The role of LAPs has been further strengthened by the Localism Act 2011 and the introduction of new local powers and community rights in relation to land use planning, housing, local services and assets of community value. Sherborne Area Partnership (SAP) came into being in October 2003. It is jointly funded by West Dorset District Council (WDDC) and Sherborne Town Council (STC). It is the LAP for Sherborne and its surrounding parishes: Queen Thorne, Over & Nether Compton, Trent, Sandford Orcas, Poyntington, Oborne, Castleton, Goathill, Bradford Abbas, Clifton Maybank, Thornford, Beer Hackett, Ryme Intrinseca, Yetminster, Chetnole, Stockwood, Melbury Bubb, Batcombe, Hilfield, Leigh, Holnest, Lillington, Leweston, Longburton, Folke, Alweston, North Wootton, Haydon, Caundle Marsh, Bishop’s Caundle, Holwell and Purse Caundle. Some of these parishes (in italics) have already produced or are in the process of producing their own Parish Plans which feed into the work of SAP. SAP is a member of the West Dorset Partnership (WDP) which has the overall responsibility for community planning in West Dorset. Since starting work in October 2003 it has produced a series of 3 year Area Action Plans. The 2014-2017 version is the latest. Consultation on changes to its predecessor 2010-2013 Plan began last year. Months of consultation with local people on what should be included in the new Sherborne Area Action Plan ended with the launch of the draft version of the 2014-2017 Plan at the Digby Hall on Thursday 27th November 2013. 50 people attended, from local villages as well as the town, keen to ensure that the actions they had suggested were all included. A leaflet summarising the 7 themes (Activities & Opportunities, Environment, Health & Wellbeing, Housing, Local Prosperity, Safer Communities and Transport) and their associated actions in the revised Draft Plan was then circulated for further consultation to the Town and Parish Councils, voluntary, statutory and commercial organisations large and small, schools and local residents asking them to respond by 28th February 2014 with suggested changes and additions. They were also asked to indicate a top priority action within each theme. Over 80 people responded, either as individuals or on behalf of organisations, and this Plan is the result. SAP is what it says, a joint enterprise involving many of the organisations who participated in the consultation. Our collaborative work is overseen by a 16 strong Management Committee who meet quarterly and from whose ranks a small Executive has been drawn that has day-to-day oversight of the work of our small staff team. The Action Plan will be delivered by a wide range of partners and, as our Chairman says, SAP itself will focus on a small number of selected actions that will be given priority for a 6 month period on the grounds that they are achievable within this time scale and have been chosen as priorities by a significant number of respondents. They will be reviewed and actions added or deleted at the end of each period. An annexe, to help you interpret the various acronyms and access links to other strategies in the Plan, is included at the end of this document.

In it he called attention to a memorial slab, originally on the floor of the church porch, but removed by him in 1868 to the vestry wall, where you see it now. The inscription is much obliter- ated, but what remains should, accordim/ to Mr. Heale^ be read : " Hie jacet domina Kathina Stuccli dna de pontyngton que obiit iii die anno . cccc . ii."^ Mr. Heale was much exercised to discover who the entombed lady was. Reading the name as Stuccli, he at first attributed it to a Dame Stucley of the Devonshire family of that name, (1) A careful rubbing, kindly made for me by Messi's. Merrick and 8on, the contractors, reveals the word " dni " after "anno," and shews that what Mr. Heale read as C, repeated for four hundred, is X of medieval form.
