The steering committee of the Audlem Parish Plan met last week. The group has been asked by the Parish Council to produce a new plan to follow up the last one published in 2005. The new plan will focus on a range of issues including 'sustainability.'
It is anticipated that a questionnaire will seek the views of Audlem residents in September and that, like last time, volunteers will be sought for a number of working groups. The groups are likely to be:
- Parish Council and Local Government (by Steering Group)
- Environment and Ecology
- Community Projects – (Community Involvement including Sport & Leisure)
- Local Businesses including Tourism
- Health
- Planning, Housing & Built Environment
- Youth & Education
- Community Care & Access (Social Inclusion)
- Traffic & Transport (includes canal, footpaths, parking)
- Communications
- Law & Order (not a working group but written as a Parish Plan section in conjunction with the police)
It is likely that the working groups will be in operation in the autumn and into next year. Last time, it was found that groups of 6 to 8 people operate best. So, if all groups attract that number, there's room for around 60 – 70 volunteers although there's nothing to stop people working on more than one group.
Progress on all the action points in the last plan is still being monitored and it is hoped that one of the key actions, de-priming the A525, will be announced in the near future as all three counties involved have submitted the de-priming proposal to the Ministry of Transport some months ago.
