Laverstock & Ford Parish Council

Welcome to our Parish Plan
The plan is about the aspirations of people who are residents of the Parish of Laverstock and Ford with Hampton Park and Old Sarum. It also includes part of the small neighbourhood of Milford.

Over a period of almost two years our Steering Group of Parish Councillors and residents has surveyed and studied what residents told us was important; what was good and what was bad. They told us what they would like to keep and what they would like to change.

At a time when some people feel that public administration is becoming increasingly remote, our Parish residents told us that they want to retain control over their own lives; they want a Parish Council which has a local presence and can be seen, communicated with and held accountable.

If you have any queries or comments about our Parish Plan, please contact the chairman of the Parish Plan Committee at:

Tasking Groups Information

Don’t get out enough?
Why not join one of our Tasking Groups working to action the Parish Plan. No qualifications required, no pay and probably no thanks but we would love to see you at the next meeting. You have a choice working on:
The Environment and Traffic/Transport.
Support your community and feel good – cheaper than alcohol and better for you!
Get in touch with the Parish Clerk for details of the next meeting.

What happens now?
The Parish Plan was given its official welcome and launch at a meeting held on May 18th 2009 at St Andrew's School. A number of the fifty or so attendees signed up to one of the five Tasking Groups formed to take the Parish Plan forward. The plan is written and published but this is the beginning NOT the end of the process. The tasking groups cover the key topics:

Local Transport and Traffic Control

Facilities for young people and Schools

Protecting the environment

Community safety and Sense of community

Local facilities and Keeping the character of the community

If you are interested in joining any of the above groups then do please contact the Parish Clerk. Each group will work in its own way, at its own speed and to its own agenda. It would be good to have a few more members for each group so that we can make the Parish Plan HAPPEN!
