The Bishop’s Castle Community Partnership (BCCP)
The Bishop’s Castle Community Partnership (BCCP)
The BCCP is an
independent charity
with the aim to advance citizenship and community
development. It brings together individuals and groups with a shared interest in
Bishop’s Castle under
a common action plan
, planned and delivered as one.
The BCCP is responsible for delivering the
Community-Led Town Plan
for the benefit of
our local community. It is a
community-owned
plan that highlights actions to be taken
by the community
in partnership with the Town Council and other local organisations
.
The Plan brings together existing organisations and local volunteers to run projects and
form working groups to tackle specific issues. It is not about replicating the work
already being done, but is a way of coordinating this work so that opportunities may be
identified and issues shared for mutual benefit.
It is by working together as a community that we will make Bishop’s Castle an even
better place in which to live and work.
Community-Led Town Plan was launched in
October 2016 and the actions are updated
annually.
It has 6 themes designed to address the
issues identified by the Bishop’s Castle
community:
Town Centre;
Community and Services;
Economy;
Sustainability;
Infrastructure and
Development
The Community Partnership is working in
partnership with the Town Council in their
development of a
Neighbourhood Plan
for
Bishop’s Castle.
The Neighbourhood Plan is concerned with
planning decisions, whereas the
Community-Led Plan covers all things
important to a community.
Both plans work together for the future
benefit of the Town.
