Following a European initiative, rural parishes across the country have been compiling parish action plans. Bolsterstone has been included in this process along with its neighbouring villages most of which lie in the Parish of Bradfield. Each individual village has produced a separate resident questionnaire, analysed the results and produced action plans. An action plan is a simple way of defining a strategy to see something done about the issues that matter most to YOU.
Bolsterstone Village Appraisal Group has been leading this process, and the document you’ll find attached is the result.
The action plan has now been published and distributed to all Bolsterstone residents. Most importantly the Village Appraisal Group, Bolsterstone Community Group, other local groups and statutory service providers are now working in partnership in order to implement this action plan. This should lead to access to new funding and improvements in facilities and services for Bolsterstone and surrounding area.
The idea is that this will be a working document, and as progress is made projects can be ticked off and new ones begun! If you would like to get involved with the implementation or have any further comments or suggestions, please contact: Bolsterstone Appraisal Group on 01142 88 33 90 or email bcg@bolsterstonevillage.fsnet.co.uk
Bolsterstone Village Appraisal Group would like to extend their warmest thanks to:
The residents and friends of Bolsterstone who attended the preliminary public meetings, all those who completed and returned the questionnaires, Yorkshire Rural Community Council, Stocksbridge town council and Sheffield city Council.
