Issues version 2. 

From all the issues sent to Barrie and those identified in consultation Barrie has drafted a proposal of the main issues within each group

Draft focuses on what we want in the parish plan not all of which will require evidence from the questionnaire.

Issues:
Community/Leisure

• Role of church needs to be included and what people would like to see more of.  David to develop. 
• It must be remembered that existing consultations are a legitimate part of the whole process from which issues need to be teased out. What information do we need from the formal consultation over and above this?

Focus on issues first then questions that follow on

Cholsey 1000+would welcome questions to generate data around how valued things are / what can we do differently.

 May be able to draw in some extra people to help with questions!

 Pavilion:

• If it is a rebuild are we trying to include options in our questionnaire? Discussed role of parish plan and it was agreed to discuss with PC working party.
• Also discussed other locations where pavilion / sports facilities could be housed: George Schuster, Fair Mile social club.
• Possible location for Cafe: on the rec. site / pavilion?

Other issues:

• Boundaries/ Winterbrook questions / does parish boundary need changing?

Fair Mile?

• Should we have a separate section to deal with issues around fair Mile development?  It was agreed that arising issues would be placed within appropriate headings.

Confusion about pavements, footpaths, foot ways

Need to make sure the questions are precise enough for those of us who use footpaths to refer to pavements.
