Current community plans

We encourage all local communities in the borough to get involved in shaping their local areas. One way is for communities across the borough’s towns and villages to develop their own community-led plans. See below for community plans that have been published and local groups.

Rural communities

Community plans for East Woodhay, North Waltham, Oakley and St Mary Bourne have been developed and adopted by the local parish councils.

The planning group has been successful in setting up a Men's Shed group (based at Stratton Park) and a Daytime Club (based at Kempshott Village Hall) to address the need for activities for older people in the ward.

Popley

The Marnel and Merton Community Plan (in west Popley) was developed by the Marnel and Merton Community Group and was launched in June 2014.

Two community planning groups covering the Shakespeare Road and Popley Islands joined forces to produce a plan for Popley East.

Though there is no specific community group leading on the actions for the Marnel and Merton or the Popley East Community Plans, local service providers and organisations are able to use the plan to direct their services and show evidence of need for grant applications.

South Ham

A community-led plan for South Ham, the Berg Estate and the South Ham extension was published in 2013, developed by a local residents' group.

Though there is no specific community group leading on the actions, local service providers and organisations are using the Plan to direct their services and show evidence of need for grant applications.
