Parish Plans

A Parish Plan is produced by and for local communities.  The process provides local people with an opportunity consider what is important to them and to help guide future activity within their parish or town.

Any size community can come together to develop a Parish Plan.  Town and Parish Councils play a key role in stimulating, supporting and guiding this process and overseeing the implementation of a plan once developed.

A Parish Plan is a living document that details how the community would like to move forward over the next 5-10 years.

In North Somerset nine Parish Plans have been completed and ten are underway.  Those that are completed are:

• Abbots Leigh
• Bleadon
• Blagdon
• Easton-in-Gordano
• Flax Bourton
• Hutton
• Kewstoke
• Locking
• Wrington

The priorities and issues highlighted by Parish Plans will help to shape the new North Somerset Sustainable Community Strategy as well as influence the action planning processes of the Delivery Partnerships.
