On a horrid Monday night, a brave little group assembled at the Village Hall to find out more about the Parish Plan and express an interest in helping develop a new one over the next year or so. People came from all over the village and several were quite new to Natland and keen to get involved.
As a result we have the core of a steering group - 5 volunteers at the moment - but we are keen to find 1 or 2 more before we get together and work out what we want to do and how we want to do it - perhaps with the help of a facilitator from Action with Communities in Cumbria (or ACT), who are the experts in community-led planning.
If you'd like to help us or at least come along to the first meeting and see what you think, please email me at lois.sparling@gmail.com and I'll add you to our initial list. No expertise required!
Thank you
Cllr Lois Sparling
