Community Led Plan

With the support of the Oxfordshire Rural Community Council (ORCC) and Wardington Parish Council a steering group of volunteers from the village is developing a Community Led Plan (CLP) for the Wardington parish. This has been done successfully by other villages including Cropredy. See:

http://www.oxonrcc.org.uk/what-we-do/community-led-planning

The Community Led Plan give a framework to community projects which enhance the village. In developing the plan we want to hear from everyone, including those who don’t normally express their views. We are also keen that anyone who wants to contribute is able to join us.

You can contact us by emailing clp (at) wardington (dot) net.
