What is Writtle Future?
Writtle Future is the short name of a group that exists to oversee the creation of a plan for the future of the civil (that is, non-church) parish of Writtle, in Essex. All village residents are automatically members.
The aim is to be pro-active - for local people to influence how the village should develop in future, not just to accept what happens.
How does it operate?
The process began with a public meeting (see below), then detailed consideration of responses during 2007, leading to a questionnaire to every house in early 2008. Replies are then analysed and published and a draft report will be published . The eventual outcome will be a formal document that we as local people can use to influence local councils and other bodies.
The document will link in to the community plan for the future of our Borough - Our Future Chelmsford (opens in new window).
Writtle Future's formal title is the "Writtle Parish Plan Association" and was set up in shadow form in Summer 2006. It is governed by a Constitution on the Our Files page.
Parish Workshop on Saturday 9th September 2006
The initial workshop was attended by 65 local people on 9 September 2006. Many issues were raised for future discussion. For more information, go to the Workshop Comments in the MENU column on the left or for a more detailed analysis go to Our Files in the same MENU
Further meetings of the Steering Group are progressing to agree the format of the Parish Plan in a more reader friendly form based on the Detailed Household Questionnaire Analysis and Action Plan.
