Ludlow Community Led Plan
The Shaping of Ludlow’s new Town Plan
The analysis of the Ludlow-wide household survey conducted earlier in the summer has just been released. It makes interesting reading – and gives some clear ideas on what is wanted in Ludlow over the next five years.
Councillor Erica Garner, who is leading the Community Plan, is excited at the prospects for the town. “Some of the ideas are more easily and quickly achieved,” she said, “while some take a longer-term view. The ideas come from the community and the whole purpose of the Community Led Plan is that it is the voice of the community which will shape our beautiful town.”
There will be three public meetings held in September where the survey results will be shared and initial discussions will start to investigate how key projects can be delivered. Anyone who expressed an interest in being kept informed of the development of a new Town Plan will be invited as will people and local groups who wish to be actively involved in developing the Town Plan.
There are two meetings taking place on Wednesday 12th September, 3.00 pm and 6.30 pm at the Ludlow Methodist Church, Broad Street.
The third meeting will be on Thursday 13th September, 7.00 pm at the Elim Church, Smithfield Car Park in Lower Galdeford.

A new Ludlow Community Led Plan is being developed
LUDLOW NOW …. LUDLOW NEXT ….
Ludlow’s residents and businesses are going to have the opportunity to shape the future of their town and have a say in how it operates for the next five years under the new Community-Led Plan!
During February and March a questionnaire will be delivered to every household and business across the seven council wards asking Ludlow’s people what they think works for their Ludlow now and what they think needs to happen to keep it working into 2023 …. and beyond!
This questionnaire reflects and builds on comments received in response to an initial survey conducted at the end of last year. It asks about the needs of young people and the elderly, housing, transport, parking, shopping, tourism, economic development and the environment – all vital to the sustainability of the Ludlow we all know and love.
The questionnaire can be completed either on- line via the Ludlow Town Council website or fill in a paper copy. To keep costs down to an absolute minimum the questionnaire can be posted in over 20 locations throughout the town.
The Community-Led Plan is initiated by Ludlow Town Council but the important voices are those from Ludlow’s community and it is those voices which will help to shape Ludlow’s future.
So … watch out for that questionnaire….. and make sure your ideas get put into Ludlow’s plan for the future!
If you are interested in how to get involved in shaping a vision for Ludlow please contact Chair of the Ludlow Community Led Plan Steering Group, Erica Garner at: ludlowcommunityplan@gmail.com or a member of the steering group on 07974001310 to find out more about this exciting initiative.
