LITTLEDEAN PARISH ACTION PLAN Following the analysis of the Parish Questionnaire, the Parish Plan Steering Committee met on a number of occasions in order to create a programme that addressed the aspirations and hopes of the residents of Littledean Parish. Many of the items to be addressed are not deliverable by the Parish Council at all. They require the Parish Council to lobby other organisations such as the Forest of Dean District Council, Gloucestershire County Council and NHS Trusts. In some cases the Parish Council will need to mobilise the people of Littledean to help themselves. Many parishioners have stated that they would be willing to assist in setting-up and running groups and organisations and the Parish Council will be contacting these volunteers with a view to initiating projects. The Parish Council will need the support of the Parish as a whole if it is going to make these dreams come true! There follows herewith the Summary Action Plan that was developed by the Parish Plan Steering Committee and which details the Action Item, the partners required in its delivery and an indication of priority. The Action Plan is your hopes and aspirations. Some items may be deliverable, and some may not, but you will be kept apprised of progress in Littledean Life newsletters. ACTION PLAN SUMMARY Ref.
