Beenham Parish Plan
Why do we need a Parish Plan?
To give the Parish greater influence over key decision makers and developers
...by anticipating the future needs of the community, creating a shared vision, and communicating it.
To improve the quality of life in Beenham
...by involving the whole the community in making projects happen that will preserve the best of the past and start some new initiatives.
What will change as a result?
We will be better placed to make changes which the community wants and to find funding for them
We may have greater influence over future land and property developments within the parish boundary.
People will feel included, involved and empowered.
We will have preserved, changed and initiated certain aspects of parish life for the better.
What will the Parish Plan cover?
In short, every aspect of life in the parish, including:
● Traffic, roads and paths
● Public transport
● Local facilities (e.g. Sport / shop & pub...)
● Youth facilities
● Environment & recycling
● Historic preservation
● Local businesses
● Housing development
How can I help?
The spirit of the Parish Plan is inclusive, to encourage community involvement, to make local democracy work.

There will also be several different action teams conducting researching, analysing feedback and making recommendations for each aspect of the project.
