Town Plan & Community Plan
Town Plan
Sandy & Beeston Town plan was researched and published by a committed group of local volunteers. A survey of the whole community resulted in the return of over 1000 detailed questionnaires as residents were keen to share their views about what should happen to Sandy in the future.
The plan was adopted by Sandy Town Council in 2011 and the priorities in the plan have been used to inform the council's recent activities and policies. Some of the goals of the plan have already been achieved.
If you want to contribute to the shaping of Sandy in the future please talk to your town councillors and share your views about what is important.
The plan has been reviewed and updated, to record progress and to add extra information. A copy of the updated Town Plan is available here. The Town Plan Group is keen to receive comments, corrections, additions etc please email them to the Town Council [email protected]
Community Plan
Members of Sandy Town Council have been working on a Community Plan for Sandy. The Community Plan will play a vital role in guiding and shaping the work of the Town Council and its interaction with Central Bedfordshire Council. The Plan is evidence of the Council’s commitment to collaboration over the future of the area. The Plan will be used to inform local and regional authorities and government bodies about the wishes and expectations of the community.
Sandy Town Council is aware of its legal limitations to effect change as a body in its own right. The Town Council will successfully carry out those functions which it can as an autonomous body to help improve the town, but will also work in partnership with other bodies and community organisations to ensure the best possible provision for Sandy’s residents and its future are made, the Community Plan embodies this working together ethos.
The Community Plan was adopted at a Town Council meeting on 17 September 2018. An action list will be brought to a future meeting so that the Council can start addressing the issues highlighted within the document.
