About the Action Plan Process
In the summer of 2009 Barcombe Parish Council undertook a formal consultation with the Parish by holding a number of meetings with village groups and societies and by forming a steering group of representatives from these groups to help design a questionnaire.
The subsequent questionnaire was then delivered to every household with the May issue of Barcombe News to give all individuals the opportunity to have a role in forming a modern picture of the community, its behaviours and issues, both positive and negative. This process is common practice for informing the development of a Community Action Plan which is a process of a community identifying its key concerns, needs and ambitions for the future of that community and acting upon this information.
73% of villages in Sussex have completed this community led planning process of forming a Community Action Plan (source: Action in Rural Sussex). The information provided by consultations such as the questionnaire provide a central point of reference for local governance, such as the Parish Council, District and County Councils, fundraising and bid formation and for the community as a whole to understand collective concerns in the formation of a formal strategic planning document – which is the Action Plan.
