Parish Council Action Plan

Dear Blogger

Message from David Shearan, Ruyton XI Towns Parish Council.

The Parish Council exists to serve the Ruyton XI Towns  parish community, and as part of this we recently adopted a 
revised Action Plan which sets out clear aims and objectives, as well as a progress
report on existing activities. The Action Plan will be reviewed and updated regular
ly, and we very much welcome and encourage feedback; we are particularly interested
 in receiving suggestions for future activities or projects. If there is something 
you think could be improved in the parish, or a service/amenity you think is needed
or something you think could improve the health and wellbeing of the community, no 
matter how big or small, short or long-term, please do share your thoughts with the
clerk.

The Parish Council will review* all suggestions received, and we hope to put together a shortlist for the community to vote on their favourite ideas.  The Action Plan can be seen on the Parish Council website    http://www.ruytonxitownsparishcouncil.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/RPC-Action-plan-2020-21-Oct-2020.pdf    *Parish Councils need to find a "Power" or "Authority" in law that enables them to
do a particular activity, so as long as a suggestion is something that the Parish 
Council can legally do, then it will be considered. If it's not something we can do
ourselves we may be able to work with another authority/organisation who can, or we
may be able to look into it in the future if the Parish Council meets the criteria
for General Power of Competence, which grants councils much greater flexibility and
freedom in how they can act.    David
