The South Abingdon Residents Plan (SARP) is a community group whose aim is:

• to develop a community plan for the area
• to identify ways of involving the whole community
• to liaise with relevant authorities and organisations to make the plan as effective as possible

So far the group has been asking a large number of residents of South Abingdon (including in the Community Shop at the Christmas Extravaganza – above):

• what residents like about south Abingdon,
• what they would like to see improved,
• what big ideas they have for the area.

The next step is to use a  ‘Planning for Real’ model to gain more in depth views from a wide cross section of South Abingdon. This needs volunteers.

So if you would like to be involved in training to help take the PfR model round to get other people’s views, contact : Jackie Silver 01235 514404 or email jsilver@soha.co.uk .
