The development of the Wellow Neighbourhood Plan is overseen by a Steering Committee. This is a formal sub-committee of Wellow Parish Council and consists of both Parish Council and community members.
The Parish Council retains overall responsibility for the project, but its execution is delegated to the Neighbourhood Plan team as directed by the Steering Committee.
Members of the Steering Committee and team are entirely voluntary and are drawn from the Wellow community. We are advised by a consultant. Various sub-groups drawn from the wider team have been established from time to time to work on different activities of the developing plan as needed.
Current members of the Wellow Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee are:
- Charles Payne (Chair of the Steering Committee and Parish Councillor)
- Kathy Taylor (Secretary)
- Gaye Chesterton-Kay (Parish Councillor)
- Les Rackham
- John Saunsbury
- Ivor Binns
- Richard Amey
- Chris Craig (Parish Councillor)
- Sharon de Brú (Consultant – advisor to the Group)
Meetings
The meetings of the team and Steering Committee were considerably disrupted from the beginning of 2020 because of the pandemic. Team meetings have continued to be held virtually since it has proved to be an efficient and effective way of working.
