Dear Residents of North Rode,

Parish Plan meeting

Most will have seen and hopefully read an article by John Narraway in the March edition of the church Parish news referring to an open meeting about a Parish Plan.

The meeting will be taking place on Tuesday 20th May at 7pm. Some of our neighbouring parishes have produced such a document with the help of a representative cross section of their village communities. The cross section has included representatives from organisations such as churches and the WI as well as individuals.

As John has stated," A Parish Plan is a document written by the residents of the Parish that sets out what is good about the Parish and how to preserve and enhance it, what is lacking in the Parish and how to provide it and possibly what is bad about the Parish and how to remove it."

The meeting on the 20th will comprise mainly of a presentation by representatives from Cheshire Community Council (not to be mistaken with Cheshire County Council) about Parish Plans their purpose and benefits. There will also be opportunity to put forward your views / ideas and to comment on whether such a plan is something we want to have for North Rode.

The meeting is being initiated by North Rode Parish Council but if the work of producing a Parish Plan is seen as desirable it will be taken forward by a Parish Plan team.

All residents of North Rode are invited to the meeting at the Daintry Hall on Tuesday 20th May. If you would like any further information please contact John Narraway 223171 or myself on 223547.

Yours sincerely,

David Syson

Chairman North Rode Parish Council
