Three-year rolling business plan

At our Full Council meeting on 29th November 2021, a three-year rolling business plan was approved. This document was one of the outputs of our two Parish Council Strategy days in October and November 2021. Its purpose is to guide the Parish Council's longer term operational and financial strategy, provide a framework for decision-making and to provide a starting point for our annual budget deliberations which take place each January. It is a "living document", which is intended to be updated and adapted periodically, in line with changing circumstances and priorities.

The current version, as agreed by Full Council, is shown below. It demonstrates the Parish Council's ongoing commitment to maintain our community's assets, particularly our Allotments, St Mary's churchyard, Church Piece, Grange Field and Cheltenham's escarpment grasslands. It also demonstrates our commitment to provide services and support for our community, particularly through its CK Futures, CK Health Connect and Community Grant programmes.
