east woodhay parish plan - Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council

East Woodhay Parish Plan 1Foreword from the Chair of East Woodhay Parish CouncilThe Parish Plan is the result of time given by a team of local people under the chairmanship of JohnAngle. As a member I have witnessed the personal effort and dedication that John has given to thisimportant task: in motivating the team; obtaining finance; securing the services of the GreenhamCommon Trust in the design and processing of the questionnaires; drafting the Plan; and taking itthrough the stages of critical debate and external advice to its evolution as a document that can beconfidently cited as representative of the wishes of residents.The conclusions drawn from the completed questionnaires have led to the tabulated action pointsunder the key headings. Some of these can be taken up by enthusiastic volunteers as in the case ofthe Village Market but the greater number require work by the parish council, as the first tier oflocal government, to obtain support from higher councils. The approach can be strengthened byciting the Plan's findings. In this respect the Plan complements the East Woodhay Village DesignStatement that is relevant when responding to planning applications. This, too, was produced by ateam of local people.
