Winterslow Parish Plan — 2009

Instructions for completing this Questionnaire

The Questionnaire is divided into 2 Parts!

PART 1.

Household section

This part of the Questionnaire contains questions which collect background

information about households in the village, such as how many people there

are, where they live, and in what type of accommodation.

One household representative over the age of 18 should answer these questions

on behalf of the whole household. Other than youth questions, where

specified. The questions ask for only factual information and are designed to

make answering easy by asking the respondent to tick a box or enter a number.

What is a Parish Plan?

Over the last few years, more and more communities have been involved in work to improve the qual-

ity of life in their area. Using local people and local initiative, they have discovered that it is those

decisions taken in their village or parish, which can be most responsive to local need. However, in

order to make those decisions they require up to date and accurate information on conditions, views and lifestyles in their area. A Parish Plan is a useful tool with which to obtain such information and it has been tried and tested

over the last 20 years. Well over 1500 communities in England and Wales have completed surveys (or

Village Appraisals' to give it its official name) to take stock of the facts and opinions about their village, parish or small town.

What use is it?

Essentially, a Village Appraisal is a comprehensive survey carried out by the community for the com-

munity. Through a locally compiled questionnaire distributed to each household, it offers local people

the opportunity to comment on issues that affect their daily life. The information gathered from the

survey can be used both to celebrate local distinctiveness and put together community action plans which can influence the way in which a village moves forward. It assists with setting priorities and

helps to target limited resources. It has been used by villages with around 150 residents and more re-

cently by towns of 3000 or more. Low cost housing schemes, good neighbour groups, transport schemes, newsletters, resource centres and work with low income families are just some of the local benefits which have come about as the

result of carrying out a Village Appraisal.
