BPC Action Plan: 2023-2027
An Overview
The Four Year Action Plan has been created to direct the actions of the Council until the next round of parish elections in May 2027.
This is a statement of the Parish Council’s vision for the parish, its purpose, values, objectives and key priorities. It is not intended to be a traditional ‘Parish Plan’ which sets out aims and ambitions that are delivered by the community and partners as a whole
It is a document that sets out what Brockenhurst Parish Council itself can achieve, either directly or by trying to increase its influence on the relevant delivery body, such as Hampshire County Council, New Forest District Council, New Forest National Park Authority and partner organisations.
The Council's vision for the next four years is “to promote and support our community as a vibrant village”.
The Four Year Action Plan was adopted by the Parish Council 20 June 2023 and this document adopted by the full council on 19 September 2023.
An interim report from this action plan will be issued every six months with the last review in July 2024. This plan will be reviewed annually, next annual review is due June 2025.
