WELCOME TO THE PLAN for PRESTBURY

Our purpose is to find out what the residents of the civil parish of Prestbury value most about living here, the needs and challenges that we face, and to find pragmatic ways to address those issues in order to maintain Prestbury as a great place to live (select the MISSION TAB to see our mission statement).

In May 2007, Prestbury Parish Council established a 12-person Steering Committee to undertake this work; all are volunteering their time and talents (select the MEMBERSHIP TAB for full details of the Steering Committee). The Steering Committee includes two Parish Councillors, who ensure effective communication between the Plan for Prestbury and the Parish Council.

In October 2007 every household in the parish received a questionnaire asking for their views about living in Prestbury: what they like; current issues and concerns; and what we should be doing now to preserve and enhance the future of our community (select SURVEY RESULTS to find out what residents told us).

Working Groups have now been set up to investigate further the most significant issues identified by the survey and to recommend what action should be taken to address them. The work of these groups will be completed by the late summer or early autumn 2008 when a final report will be presented to the Parish Council and published for the community. Further work will be required after this to implement the recommendations in the plan.

Over 100 volunteers from across the community are now actively involved in the Plan for Prestbury, through the Steering Committee, the Working Groups and helping with delivery of leaflets.
