How To Prepare a Place Action Plan v1

Purpose & how to use: Guidance on building a simple, visual action plan for improving a place. Use it when your team wants to give itself direction or communicate priorities to council, traders and residents.
Who it's for: Town Team committees or working groups developing a public-facing action plan for their area.
Key points: The suggested structure starts with a cover page, place description and team description, then an explanation of the plan itself and its objectives, a summary of community engagement and the resulting vision, and year-by-year action tables. A section is reserved for community members to nominate their own ideas, the Town Team Charter principles are set out, and a tabular template captures each action against its description, responsibilities, timeframe and link to the vision.
