Conclusions

What we are proposing in this plan is a series of practical activities designed to address the major issues raised during extensive consultation with the people of Longparish. We now need to get on with the actions to ensure they happen.

Some of the proposals are clearly more complex and longer term than others. Volunteers from the Parish Plan group are prepared to lead the necessary activities, working together with the Parish Council, other groups and individuals within the village to get things done.

There are detailed action plans to support the proposals but, because they will be living documents that will evolve as we move forward, we will publish them on our website www.longparish.org.uk rather than in this document.

We would love to hear from anyone prepared to help us with any of the proposals in the Plan - please get in touch with anyone on the Parish Plan Steering Group [see Appendix 2 for contact details].
