Arnside Parish Plan Trust
AH! Good. You’ve arrived.
Welcome to the Arnside Parish Plan Trust’s own dedicated website.
We would just like to tell you a little about the background of our Parish Plan.
The five year Arnside Parish Plan was produced on the basis of the answers and feedback received from a questionnaire that was circulated in February 2003 (1200 copies) to all residents of the Parish of Arnside. The Parish Plan was finally completed in very good time in August of the same year.
From the information that was taken from the returned questionnaire five Action Groups were set up with the objective for them to achieve, within a time scale, the most important elements/needs that were taken from the answers and feedback in the questionnaire. These five Action Groups are overseen by an executive committee that is made up of the co-ordinators from each Action Group. This executive committee also has a Chairperson, Secretary, and Treasurer.
The Action Groups are responsible for the following areas of work:
(1) Planning, Housing/Building [HB]
(2) Business & Tourism [BT]
(3) Traffic, Parking and Transport [TPT]
(4) Education and Communication [EC]
(5) Environment, Safety and Security [ESS]
The Arnside Parish Plan Trust is a Limited Company and is therefore bound by the rules and regulations that this entails and we also have registered charity status.
As you would expect some of our objectives have been achieved very quickly and to a high standard like the circulation of a Parish newsletter (The Arnside Messenger) which is delivered direct to all homes three times a year. Also four times a year we now have a Village Market with food and craft stalls mainly occupied from members of Made in Cumbria. There are other objectives that have been achieved, and some others are still on going, but as the saying goes Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Like all Plans they do need to be re-visited on a frequent basis and this is a matter that is currently being dealt with by way of a new questionnaire being sent out this year.
So do feel free to proceed on further into our Arnside Parish Plan website.
