Website Purpose
The purpose of this website is to provide a living record of the process and results of producing a neighbourhood plan for the parish of Brimscombe and Thrupp. It is for the active members of the committee and the whole community of the parish. While not all the parish will want to use the internet it will be made as easy as possible for newcomers to access information and engage if they want.
​A strong neighbourhood plan can really help steer new development in a direction consistent with the wishes of the parish. To achieve a strong plan, it is essential that we can show that we have achieved a wide and active engagement with members of the parish. This web site will form a record of that process.
It is hoped that we can provide a point of interest to people such that they engage with the process and get others involved as well.
This site will link to other sites which are the originators of reference information (it would be easy to fall out of date when source data gets updated).

​This links to our communication strategy listed under 'records/ documents'.
Photos wanted   ...   the doves  ...   can you help?

​Send your digital photos to me .via the 'contact' page
Facebook link
The web site will work closely with the Facebook page for the group. The Facebook page will provide a hub for parish members to highlight current issues, be they planning, news item that needs action, human issue or local story. This should help broaden engagement and help more people see the benefit of engaging with the web site and the neighbourhood plan
