Success stories

The initiative to produce Parish Plans originated in 2000.
There are 294 town and parish councils in Kent. Of these 33 have completed Parish Plans.
Among those locally that have completed Plans are:-

• Bridge
• Brook
• Chestfield
• Challock
• Chartham
• Harrietsham
• Sutton Valence

As you can see from the numbers, Preston is at the forefront of the Parish Plan process, your parish and villages will be among the first to benefit from the process.
