Our Parish Plan brought together the views, needs and opinions of the whole community on the social, economic and environmental issues of relevance to us. The Parish Plan contains a concise action plan prioritising the issues raised and how they might be tackled, so giving everyone a chance to contribute towards improving our village.

You can join in by volunteering your time and your skills to help us deliver the plan, for example, by:

  • Joining the Medstead Parish Plan Committee to oversee delivery of the Action Plan.
    email:
    In particular, we are looking for parents of 8-11 year old village children who want to see the play facilities improved, or who have specialist knowledge to contribute to the project.
  • Joining the Communications Group to help improve communications and the dissemination of information in our village.
    email:
  • Joining the Environmental Group, to help enhance our Village Green, reinstate a Village Pond and support the Greening Medstead campaign which aims to reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprint.
    email:
    In particular, we need volunteers to help improve the Village Green, to keep down the brambles and Japanese knotweed and to record the different species of plants growing in the area.

You can also help by holding or supporting more community-wide activities for families and young people or by supporting existing community activities, clubs and local businesses.

Summary

How many times have you complained to a friend or neighbour about the lack of houses in the village our children can afford to buy? Or something needs to be done about lorries using the village as a shortcut? Why the roads are in such a poor state? Why are there so much infill development?

Well, delivering the Parish Plan now gives you an opportunity to do something about the things you think need improving. It is also a chance for you to help ensure we do not lose the things we most appreciate about living in Medstead.

If you would like to participate in any way, or for more information, please contact us.
