THAKEHAM PARISH ACTION PLAN

Parish Action Plan - Update August 2006

The data has been collated and we are currently analysing your responses to the Parish Action Plan survey.  We should be in a position to report to September's Parish Council meeting on some of the high level results when the Parish Council website will also be updated.  A copy of the full results will be circulated to all households in the autumn. We are currently finalising the data entry phase from the responses received to the recent Parish Action Plan questionnaire.   Thank you to all who participated.  We appreciate the questionnaire was lengthy but this was necessary in order to get a comprehensive overview on the needs of our parish thanks - for your patience!
