What are the benefits in doing a Community Led Plan?
- Gives the community a voice to discuss/debate the issues, where they live and work
- Identifies new services that can be provided
- Looks at ideas to improve community facilities for all
- Highlights issues of concern as well as what people like about their community
- Supports funding applications by providing evidence of need
What are the benefits for Parish Councils?
- A Community Led Plan provides a strong mandate for the Parish Council to represent the community
- They can adopt it as their Action Plan, as it is based on the views of the community
- Local Authorities and other stakeholders are reassured that the community has been thoroughly consulted.
