31/2022 - 4. Resolve to accept The Parish Council amendments to the Business plan
Mrs Moulson indicated that a strategic plan is a recognised term when applying for grants. Aspirational Plan gives the impression that we ‘may do it’. Reason given was that it wasn’t necessary achievable in the time scale hence given the title “Aspirational”. – Consider to take back to the PC’s to indicate whether it is acceptable for it to be termed “Strategic Plan” for the basis of Grant applications and to add a sub title to indicate that it is dependent upon grants and fund raising.
Propose – Cllr Leah, Second – Mrs Moulson – Resolved.
