BROCKENHURST
PARISH COUNCIL
ACTION
PLAN 2023 - 2027
The Four Year Action Plan has been created to direct the actions of the Council until the next round of parish elections in May 2027.
This is a statement
of the Parish Council’s vision for the parish, its purpose, values, objectives
and key priorities. It is not intended to be a traditional ‘Parish Plan’ which
sets out aims and ambitions that are delivered by the community and partners as
a whole
It is a document
that sets out what Brockenhurst Parish Council itself can achieve, either
directly or by trying to increase its influence on the relevant delivery body,
such as Hampshire County Council, New Forest District Council, New Forest
National Park Authority and partner organisations.
The Council's vision for the next four
years is “to promote and support our
community as a vibrant village”.
The Four Year
Action Plan was adopted by the Parish Council 20th June 2023 and
this document adopted by the full council on the 19th September 2023.
An interim report
from this action plan will be issued every six months. This plan will be
reviewed annually, next review due in June 2024.
