What is a Town Plan?


A Town Plan is a document outlining what the community sees happening over the next few years. It is an opportunity for the whole community to voice their opinion on what action they wish to see taken in their local area. It may include everything that is relevant to the people who live and work in the community. It can include any social, environmental or economic issues.
It is up to the community to determine what is important to them and to work in partnership with local authority agencies and service providers to produce the Town Plan that:
  • involves and includes everyone in the town;
  • maps out services and facilities already in the community;
  • looks at if these are currently meeting everyone's needs and are being used to their full potential;
  • discovers what issues and opportunities people feel need addressing;
  • sets out an achievable and long term vision for the future as a realistic and achievable action plan; and
  • will inform and influence a large range of organisations who provide services to the community.

Any resident in the town may join the group and their help will be welcomed. Simply contact the St Ives Town Council, whose details may be found on the Contacts page.
