The Latest Parish Plan March 2009!

Villages are an integral part of the rural landscapes of the British Isles: they form the core of an idealised view of what rural life should be. They result from small groups of people living together, and they were once a community of effort, based on the land and demonstrably close to the cycle of birth, procreation and death seen in vegetation, beasts and man himself. Nevertheless, the fascination of villages derives from the fact that we know them to be old."  - The Makings of the English Village by Brian K Roberts.

Bleadon Parish Council are anxious that the Village remains sustainable for decades to come and in order to monitor and manage future change rather than just let it happen it was decided that a Public Meeting should be held to consider a Village Plan. Some 190 interested and concerned villagers packed into the Coronation Hall one Saturday afternoon in January of this year and agreed to set up the following groups to study and research the subjects that were encompassed by the following headings.

  • Economy & Prosperity
