Village Plan

It was suggested by the Village Offices from the Peak District National Park Authority that the Parish should develop a Parish Plan.  This suggestion was supported by the Derbyshire Rural Community Council and agreed at a meeting of Community Spirit and with the Chair of the Parish Council in September 2005.

The process of preparing a plan gave everyone the opportunity to identify things they would like to see happen in the Parish and to reflect on what is so special about living here. Some suggestions which were made can be acted on straight away; others will need further discussion and consultation and have been designated as longer term aims. Still others, after due thought, will not be carried forward.

Due to the established strength of Community Spirit and the supportive community in the Parish the consultation process and the development of this plan has been relatively straight forward. One of the immediate and very positive results has been greater integration between the villages. As a result of the responses to the questionnaire five groups have been established and each has developed an action plan. The sub-groups are:

Communications

Road safety and transport

Village services

Families and young people

Conservation and heritage

Each of these groups will progress their action plans with the help and support of others in the Parish.

The Parish Plan was formally launched at Great Hucklow's Gala Day on 12^th August 2006. Please contact Community Spirit if you are interested in receiving a copy.
