Healthchecks and Action Plans

Stratford-on-Avon District Council have supported the development of the Market Towns in our district since 2001. In 2003 and 2004 this became a corporative priority for us.

Four towns, Alcester, Shipston on Stour, Southam and Stratford-upon-Avon, have undertaken detailed consulation with the community to develop a Vision of what they would like for their town by the year 2020. Background documents that supported this process can be found in the download section on the right hand side of the page.

In each town the process has been led by a community-based group of individuals whose common aim is to improve the quality of life and the economic vitality of the Market Town and it's immediately surrounding rural hinterland.

Supported by consultants and officers from Stratford-on-Avon District Council, the first task was to conduct a comprehensive study of the town and its hinterland and their facilities, opinions and aspirations. The aim was to identify each town's strengths and weaknesses.

Supported by the findings, an action plan was produced. This lists those actions that, if implemented will improve some aspects of the town and its hinterland. It also provides a timescales, identifies what work is to be done and where the financial and other resources will be obtained.

The Community Leadership Team continue to offer a high level of support for the market towns of Alcester, Shipston on Stour, Southam & Stratford upon Avon with dedicated Community Area Coordinators. Stratford upon Avon will continue to receive support from the World Class Stratford project team.

The Area Coordinators ensure two-way channels of communication are open between the community and its elected members. It is considered vital that the voice of the community continues to be heard by elected members when they debate and eventually reach decisions, equally the thoughts and decisions made by elected members need to be communicated accurately and in a timely manner to those people most likely to be effected.
