The Parish Plan for
Upton-by-Chester & district

The Parish Plan is being drawn up by the Parish Council in consultation with the residents - currently it is in very early days such that the Council has yet to agree its remit

At the April 2003 Parish Annual Assembly, Cllr Robert Thompson gave a presentation on a proposed Parish Plan. However, to date the response from the local community has not been sufficient to embark on the formal process of creating a plan and so the Parish Council has decided to run a set of meetings and evolve a less formal plan. This could then be shared with the wider community and may seed interest to produce a formal Plan later.

What is a Parish Plan? It is a structured programme that analyses the issues facing the Parish and puts in place and expedites an action plan that prepares the Parish for the future (in effect it is a template available for residents), a template that will be used by the Council to address tomorrow's Upton. More importantly residents will be involved and consulted throughout and will have a real say in influencing the direction Upton parish will follow in the future. With grant funding available, it will not add to your council tax bill but it will present a coherent and involved plan that will give each and every one of us something to aspire to.
