Council decided to renew the Parish Plan, we wanted to involve residents, both in the drafting of the Plan itself and in the consultation exercise that would underpin its proposals. To this end we asked for volunteers to form a Steering Group and received a heartening response from people in each of the three communities within the parish. Whilst other residents have been involved at various stages, we are particularly grateful to the nine volunteers who undertook the survey and who then analysed the results and drafted the Plan as you see it on the following pages. Our thanks go to: Catherine Bamforth, Paddy Bowring, James Cohen, Mandy Collings, John Dolphin (Vice-Chair), Catherine Hartz, Sarah Hunt,
