COMMUNITY
PLAN GROUP
|
The
Community Plan Group met for the first time on the 3rd March
2008 the aim of the group is to come up with an action plan
for the community of Cummersdale. The plan needs to reflect
the views and aspirations of the people in the parish, and
to fit in with plans and strategies being considered by outside
agencies, such as Carlisle City Council, Cumbria County Council,
The Primary Care Trust.
The group will initially be meeting with various interested
outside groups and talking to parishioners, we will also be
planning a number of events to enable you to be able to share
your ideas on what you would like to change in the community
you live in. More information will be made available as plans
are made.
Parish Councillors who have agreed to work on the plan are:
Keith Mcintosh, Pauline Nicholson, Brian Child, Trevor Alinson,
Warren Kerr. Volunteers who have been co-opted onto the group
are as follows: Andy Clode, Sue Wrennall, Alison Davies, Joyce
Corrieri, Brian Hetherington, Alan James.
We have been keen to try and ensure the group is representative
of all areas of the parish, all age groups, and community
groups, whilst drawing upon individual skills to help produce
the plan.
The group will meet again on the 5 April 2008. |

The open meeting called to listen to views
of parishioners in the Cummersdale community was well attended,
with some 42 turning out to have a say. Judith Brown who is
undertaking the study on behalf of the Parish Council in conjunction
with the Conservation Trust, and the Trustees of the Hall,
was able to listen to a healthy exchange of views from those
parishioners present. In addition to views expressed at the
meeting Judith will also be looking at responses from the
questionnaires, and from those groups of users, potential
users she has met with.
Her report is soon to be made available for the parish council
and other parties to consider .
