Appendix D Draft Rural Communities Strategy – Northern and South West Community Assembly Plans NORTHERN COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY COMMUNITY PLAN DELIVERY PLAN OCT 2009 – MARCH 2011 Welcome to the first Northern Community Assembly community plan. This is the delivery plan. This is very much a working document, and will change as issues are solved and new ones arrive. The following pages summarise in one document a large amount of data, member requests, community concerns, partner priorities and council plans. To enable officers, members and partners to be able to quickly access the Assembly plan we have combined issues where relevant into priorities using Sheffield City Council Corporate Plan headings. The plan illustrates the large amount of issues the Assembly is receiving, over 100 separate issues to date.
