The Steering Group is anxious to include all shades of opinion from
all parts of the Parish. Please
contact one of the people named above if you have any
questions.
A main activity of the Steering Group was to devise, print and
distribute a comprehensive
questionnaire to all households in the village. This
was carried out in the autumn of 2006
and spring of 2007. An analysis of the results of the
questionnaire has recently
been
completed and will be
presented at the Annual Parish Meeting on 6/5/08.
The analysis
reveals clear statistics about the composition of our
community and is allowing us to
understand the opinions of residents on a wide range of local
issues such as transport,
housing needs, provision of youth facilities, leisure and
sporting facilities, the creation
of a Community Shop, etc. The results of the
questionnaire are enabling the Parish Council
to demonstrate social need, when we approach funding bodies
for grants for future village
projects. A case in point is the Community Shop project, for
which grant applications
were made in 2007 and for which new applications will be made
in 2008.
