Leek Wootton & Guy’s Cliffe Parish Council is committed to ensuring that Councillors and staff are equipped to carry out the functions for which they are responsible and approved its Training Strategy in March 2012:

Training Strategy

The Parish Plan was developed by a Steering Group, formed in November 2009, at the request of the Parish Council, to consult the community and identify the needs and wishes of the residents. The Plan is intended to be a statement of what the Parish does and does not want, identifying a number of ‘Actions’ to be taken forward for the Parish to develop and improve over the next few years or more, using the plan as a reference point. The Parish Plan was completed in March 2012
