Rural life is facing some tough challenges
with the closure of village shops, banks and post offices, a lack
of public transport ... these are common problems, which have led
many communities to take local action.
The Vital Villages programme is making
a real difference. It puts community decision-making in the hands
of the people who live there, and it gives grants, quickly, in order
to make things happen.
Vital Villages helps rural communities
to help themselves through four simple grant schemes.
We in Trowell have won backing for
formulating a 'Parish Plan', which is one aspect of the Countryside
Agencies 'Vital Villages' initiative. The £5000 grant we have
been given will enable us to send a questionnaire to every household
in the Parish, which will be your opportunity to tell us what you
would like to see happen. We have a working steering committee, but
anyone who would like to be involved can contact the secretary, Lyn
Harley, on 917 1392. Agendas and minutes of meetings are also available
on this website.
One of the things we really want
to try and do is involve the young people of the community.
Please be on the look out for further information dropping through
your door.

all residents and businesses in the Parish:

Dear Sir or Madam:
We are writing to your Group/Business
on behalf of Trowell Parish Plan Steering Group. We are a group of
local people, formed following a public meeting in association to
Trowell Parish Council and the Countryside Agency. We are sure you
are aware that Trowell is the only rural community between Nottingham
and Ilkeston. We have applied for and been successful in gaining a
substantial grant from the Countryside Agency to develop a Parish
Plan. In short, a Parish Plan is a document, which outlines the present
community. It creates a template for the future of the Parish, and
can be used as supplementary planning guidance for County and Borough
plans. It lays out the opinions, hopes and aspirations of the whole
community. Once the plan has been adopted it hopefully create a catalyst
for future committees /groups to work in association with local government.
With the aim of achieving the aspirations of the existing rural community,
and to protect those aspects of rural life that we hold dear. We intend
to collate the information required through a questionnaire to all
of the parishioners. Which we will then collect door to door to ensure
a high return rate. In addition to the questionnaire, existing groups
businesses and organizations can have their input. We are now at the
point of formulating the questionnaire we are hoping to involve local
specialists (you) to generate the questions in each sub sections e.g.
HOUSING, SERVICES, TRANSPORT, DOCTORS, SHOPS, COMMUNITY, CHURCH, SOCIAL
GROUPS ENVIRONMENT , ROADS, NOISE ETC To ensure that views of your
group/business are represented within the plan, we would suggest a
delegate of your group/ business comes along to get involved in this
process. We are working to a tight timetable and the plan will be
finished within 12 months. Remember there are many unfinished issues
within Trowell and many future problems on the horizon. I.e. Foul
Smells from Erewash, Humps and Bumps in the road, Fields Farm Development
and Motorway Widening. This is your chance to have your say, in the
development of your community. Our next meeting is on March 12th,
time 7.30pm at Trowell Parish Hall.
