Dear Colleague.

Thank you for reading the Wolsingham Parish Plan.

The plan has been developed after nearly two years of sterling voluntary effort by a dedicated group of residents, willingly supported by officers and employees of various statutory organisations and voluntary groups. Financial assistance has also been received in the form of in-kind contributions from various local businesses and organisations.

Substantive funding for expenses has been from The Countryside Agency in the form of grant-aid under the Vital Villages initiative, with additional financial support from Wolsingham Parish Council.

Additional project work has been provided by Groundwork West Durham, and by Durham County Council Economic Development Department.

We would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all who have contributed.

The plan aims to address the concerns expressed by residents, and to help re-inforce the positive aspects of life in Wolsingham, laying down a framework to maintain and enhance our community.

Views of residents and visitors alike are important to the Parish Council, and we welcome your comments at our office in the Town Hall.

Yours sincerely,

John Anderson                                  Ken Rogers
