The Government would like local communities to have more control over their own lives, to say what they want doing in their own community or parish and to work with other organisations to get it done.

Community Led Plans give an opportunity to everyone in our community to make themselves heard.  They provide a way for you to say if you want more open spaces, more effective public transport, affordable housing, better access to health care, a chance to buy local produce at local shops and to choose how your community helps everyone in it to relax and make the most of their social and leisure time.
 

What is a Community Led Plan?

A Community Led Plan (also known as a Parish Plan) is a process that underpins a community’s vision for itself across all aspects of social, environmental and economic life.

It celebrates positive features and activities, highlights local needs and contains a detailed action plan to help meet those needs.

These plans are produced by and for communities, based on a detailed survey and consultation which is widely inclusive, promotes action and influences others. 

Good plans :

• use the Community Led Planning toolkit framework,
• are supported by external facilitators from the Rural    Community Action Network and
• include a robust evaluation process that ensures their quality.

Check out the events and Consultations page to find details of the first main event of the Community Led Plan.
