Cirencester Town Council

The Background

In September 2008, Cirencester Town Council adopted the Community Plan, "Our Future Cirencester". The Plan contains community development projects on themes relating to economic development, heritage and culture, young people and sustainability. From September 2008 to March 2009, four working groups considered how to take the community plan forward, considered specific topics and made recommendations to the Steering Group. The working groups prepared individual reports on the following topics:-

• Amphitheatre Strategy
• Heritage Interpretation Strategy
• Festival and Events Strategy
• A Good Place to Grow Up
• Infrastructure
• Townscape Strategy

The River Churn

The following projects within the Plan were then given prioritisation: -

• Cirencester Local Information
• Green Strategy
• Cirencester Local Partnership
• Cirencester Local Business
• Sustainable Transport Plan
• Townscape Strategy
• Open Air Pool
• Living History
• Amphitheatre
• Festivals and Events
• Market Place
• Cirencester Youth Town Council/Officer
• Fun Places

Cirencester Town Council recognises the importance of working together in order to be able to deliver the projects within the Plan and acknowledges the work of the Steering Group partnership which has got us to this vital stage.

It takes seriously its role as the lead authority for the 'people and place' of Cirencester and was delighted to gain Quality Town Council Status last November, welcoming the extension of the power of well being to the Town/Parish sector enabling direct delivery of social, economic and environmental initiatives.
