FRILSHAM FUTURE
creating a plan for our parish
"to meet the needs of the community and enhance village life"
After 2 years of consultation and development, the Frilsham Future Steering Committee with the residents of the village have produced a parish plan for Frilsham. Each household has been given a printed copy and an online version is available below. This extensive project allowed us to capture the needs and aspirations of our community. Contained within this document is a short history of the village, an explanation of the planning process and the views of the population. West Berkshire has officially endorsed this plan and consider it a key document that will influence their policies.
The Frilsham Parish Plan
Putting the Plan into Action
A steering committee was established to create the Frilsham Parish Plan. Now that stage is complete, it is time to put the Plan into Action through the new Frilsham Future Implementation Group, FFIG. Actions within the plan are wide ranging providing the opportunity for you to follow your interests while benefiting the community. It is also a chance to influence projects within our village. To find out more please contact the Chair, Bob Lyon at future@frilsham.org.uk . The committee also includes Richard Moth as Secretary, Sandra Wilkinson as Treasurer, Helen Allen as Funding Coordinator and Dorcas Ward.
Recreation Area
One of the major projects arising from our Parish Plan is development of the recreation ground around the clubroom. The aim of the proposals for the recreation ground is to provide a focus for our community, a meeting place for anyone and everyone: individuals, small groups, families and friends, the whole village and more.
On Saturday 16th July FFIG hosted a coffee morning in the Clubroom to provide an opportunity for everyone in the village to come along and see ideas about how we might develop our recreation ground and to give input and help make the decisions. Attendees were asked to complete a questionnaire to give their opinions on the many decisions which need to be taken. This input is really important to shape the design of the area to make sure it best meets the needs and preferences of our community.

Background
A plan is designed to reflect the needs and aspirations of a community to influence local government and attract funding. Producing a plan for our parish has been a massive exercise involving consultation in many guises. One of the most extensive being the questionnaire that went to each member of the community. That questionnaire was developed based on public opinions gathered at events and meetings. Below is the original questionnaire, the analysed results and a presentation of the findings:
