PARISH PLAN PROGRESS REPORTS



GOOD NEIGHBOURS


This section of the progress report covers:
spot
1 - Scheme coordinator
spot
2 - Scheme meeting
Quite a few friendly and good neighbourly people responded favourably in the survey, so with a little help, this scheme should be a great benefit to many in the village.




1. SCHEME COORDINATOR
spot    "The Parish Council to place an article in 'The Link' and on the website to recruit a scheme coordinator."

A request was included in the spring issue of The Link, asking for support for this and other schemes.
The 'response' received however has been informative: it seems that while many people are happy to 'keep an eye on a near-by neighbour' - most are reluctant to move on offer more general help, even locally, in a more formal manner.
The original idea to 'recruit and train a coordinator' may have give the impression that a lot of time and energy would be needed, and has perhaps put people off the scheme. It could be that a smaller more informal scheme, might work better in our village.
The ORCC has some information similar schemes in other areas, and has passed on some useful details, which is currently being considered.

The scheme was re-considered at the September meeting" of the Parish Council.




2. SCHEME MEETING
spot    "Once provided with some basic training, the scheme coordinator to establish a working group and launch the scheme via a public meeting in the Village Hall."

Details to be worked out with the scheme leader.

F10Residents of Sandford are mostly friendly and show that they care.
