These discussions will form the content of the final Parish Plan.

The success of putting the plan into practice will depend on the involvement and action of parishioners.

On these days we will be looking for more hands on deck to take highlighted issues forward – this is where YOU get involved.

In the next few days a copy of the questionnaire would have dropped through your letterbox. This is it – your chance to have a say on a multitude of local issues. If you have not done so already, we urge you to get ticking those boxes!

When you have completed the questionnaire please return it to one of the collection boxes situated in Stoke Gabriel Garage, The Post Office, Stoke Gabriel Village Store (Bernie’s), The Country Gallery, the School, the Pre-School or The Church.  The boxes will be removed very soon after Monday 4^th February.

If you need any help with completing the questionnaire, or its collection, please contact us on either 0845 8674919 or email info@stokegabrielparishplan.org.uk and we will get in touch.

What next? All the responses will be sent off for independent analysis and collation – a process that will take up to 6 weeks. After this we will be hosting a public meeting to discuss the findings and how they will inform the development of the final “Parish Plan”. At this stage we will also be looking for volunteers to step forward and champion any of the issues highlighted.

PARISH PLAN UPDATE - September 2007

The Parish Plan Questionnaire is now taking shape. This will be delivered to all households in the autumn, and is your next chance to influence the final plan – a plan covering all aspects of Parish life that you want to keep unchanged or improve.

The final document will be produced at a grand launch where the emphasis will be on looking for interested parties to take forward the popular mandates resulting from this consultation process.

Be it preschool facilities, sports areas, speeding cars, absent police or dog fouling, if it is raised as an issue, then it is over to Parishioners to sort it out.

In this vein the Plan Steering Group strive for absolute objectivity – we only aim to reflect what Parishioners are telling us.

As a point of clarification from our August report of 20 Top Topics, the feedback saw Yarde Orchard as an invaluable asset in the village which many would like to see preserved and not available for any developments.  The current owners would like to make clear that they have no plans to develop this land so the focus would be on preserving its long term future.

The consultations in the village hall in June saw two lucky winners of a bottle of wine, but one goes unclaimed - please come forward ticket number 32!

In the meantime please keep the emails and phone messages coming to our dedicated hotlines - all this information will be put in the collating melting pot.

Article from the Totnes Times (http://www.totnes-today.co.uk/today/index.cfm) on Wednesday June 20th 2007

To encourage the people of Stoke Gabriel Parish to attend our consultation days we offered a raffle for a couple of bottles of wine supplied by our local wine merchant - Red Field Wines.

The winning tickets were -

Red Wine - 32 - As yet unclaimed.

White Wine - 96 - Won by Anne Broad.

Thank you to Red Field Wines, who can be found at http://www.redfieldwines.co.uk/

Our 2 consultation days were well attended. A big thank you to the 200 of you who made the effort to give us your views on the parish. However it is not too late! You can email or phone us using the details on out contact page.

What's Next? - Once we have gone through the data collected from the consultation days we will be developing a questionnaire surrounding the main topics of interest. This will be posted to every household in the parish.

Volunteers - We are always on the look out for volunteers to help deliver the questionnaires or help implement the outcome of the questionnaire. Please let us know if you can spare a few hours.
