Calvert Green Village Plan
Have your say - Community Led Planning
This is your chance to have your say about the future of our village. We all want the best for the place where we live and we can really make change happen if we want to. What we need now is a collective view of the people who live here and their wants and needs from the community.
Throughout 2010 Calvert Green Community Association (CGCA) will team up with the community residents who are motivated to get what they want from where they live and create a Steering Group to gather the "view" of the community, to formulate the Parish Plan/Community Led Plan.
What is the plan?
A community led plan is a process that underpins a community's vision for itself across all aspects of social, environmental and economic life. It celebrates positive features and activities, highlights local needs and contains a detailed action plan to help meet those needs. These plans are produced by and for communities, based on a detailed survey and consultation which is widely inclusive, prompts action and influences others.
During 2009 the Steering Group will canvas the community in the form of a questionairre in order to obtain a collective view which will formulate the Village Plan.
If you require further information or are looking to join the Steering Group, please contact

Do you want to be more involved in what can happen in Calvert Green?
The Government wants local communities to have more control of their own lives, to say what they want in their own community or parish and to work with other organisations to get it done.
Community Led Planning is a structured process, to create a vision for a community and an action plan to achieve it. The process involves using a mix of evidence collection, different types of consultation and debate at the very local neighbourhood level. It is designed to be a process in which each and every citizen can participate. The resulting vision covers the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of the community and all those who live and work there.
Calvert Green has a group of residents currently working on and delivering the Village Plan. Our next task is the carry out a survey of all local residents and the questionnaire will be hitting your doormats soon. Please fill this in and send back as we need to know the communities views in order to develop our Village Plan.
We are still at the early stages of the process and if you want to be involved now is the time to volunteer.
