Parish Plan by Bob Blizzard MP
KESSINGLAND PARISH PLAN
Foreword by Bob Blizzard MP
This plan sets out what the people of Kessingland want for their village. Because of the thorough and comprehensive consultation that has been carried out to formulate the plan, we can be sure that it accurately reflects the aspiration and ambition of the community. It is also realistic.
I congratulate the Parish Council and in particular the dedicated team that worked so hard to ask people for their views and to draw up this village plan. They deserve all our thanks. It was an important task to carry out, which is why the government, via the Countryside Agency, made funding available through the ?vital villages? initiative.
The plan contains no real surprises, but its formulation significantly strengthens the case for what Kessingland needs. Kessingland has the population of a small town, but only the service infrastructure of a large village. Although it is situated close to Lowestoft, the community of Kessingland is large enough to merit more of its own services in the village.
The plan now has to be turned into reality. It will be important for all organizations and representatives at all levels to work together to achieve the goals that are so clearly set out here. Together we can make Kessingland a better place.
It is a privilege to be asked to write this foreword. I hope that the people of Kessingland will support their Parish Council as they lead the way.
