Parish Plans
A Parish Plan is a recognised document put together by local parishioners working together with their Parish Council. Such a plan normally takes 12 to 18 months to complete, and involves wide consultation with residents, schools and businesses, to discover concerns and future aspirations. An informed action plan is then put together in response to key issues raised.
Parish Plans were originally funded through The Countryside Agency. In Dorset, funding is currently available from the Dorset Strategic Partnership. Dorset Community Action provide general information on carrying out a plan and help in putting together an application for funding. On-going support and help in kind are also available for groups in East Dorset through the Partnership.
Parish Plans in East Dorset exist for Alderholt, Corfe Mullen, Holt, and Sturminster Marshall and West Moors. Plans are also underway in Colehill, Sixpenny Handley & Pentridge and St. Leonards & St Ives.
