The Eynsham Parish Plan is a report on Eynsham in 2006/07. Many Eynsham residents helped to create it. It is based on the views expressed by people who live and work in the village, supported by research. Extracts on key topics are available at the foot of the page, as is the full report (1.38 MB). Read the review 2007/08; follow progress on the Action Plan.
The Plan has a number of purposes:
The Plan has taken over 18 months to produce and involved volunteers from all sections of the community, including churches, shops, police, schools and the departing part-time youth worker. The Parish Council has maintained an interest and has received regular reports through Chris Roles and more recently Richard Andrews.
Funding for the work came from Defra and the Parish Council. We have also received help from SEEDA , ORCC , OMTN, Carnegie Trust UK, Iain Nicholson of OTCN and Catherine Chater. The Steering Group is very grateful for their contributions and advice. A fuller list of contributors appears in Section 6.
The consultation process that informs the Plan is described in Section 4. After an initial survey to identify Eynsham's key concerns, a questionnaire based on these went to every house in the village – and achieved a 25% response. Along the way were letters, emails and talks to groups; flyers, press releases, public events and one-to-one discussion.
Residents' top priorities, covered in detail at Section 5, include:
We provided a background (The Facts) to the expressions of opinion; pointed to some emerging options and wider issues (The Vision); and formulated the responses into a draft Action Plan. Numeric data from the questionnaire is supplied at Appendix 2.
Meanwhile nothing stands still – and the Steering Group has already made a difference:
Energy and enterprise are around us already, at group and individual level. But engagement is more demanding. As Henry Ford put it:
"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."
If you'd like more information – or if you'd like to help – please contact the Steering Group. Ring Chris Roles 01865 880674 or write to us c/o Eynsham Emporium or email.
