Services: Economic development  | Masterplanning | Management & implementation

We were appointed to work with Acle Parish Council to form the Acle Village Team and produce an economic development led masterplan to support and enhance the local economy and community. This project took place over a period of about a year. The first stage of the project was to undertake consultation with the local community and stakeholders and baseline research. Following this we identified a series of issues that were affecting the local economy. Once the issues were identified we prepared, alongside the Village Team, a set of practical projects for the short and long term all designed to mitigate the issues identified and in turn help support and enhance the local economy and community.
Specific services:
  • Social, economic and property market research comparing Acle with other villages/market towns in the region
  • Consultation with the local community, local schools, businesses and key stakeholders
  • Project team organisation and design
  • Identification of issues inhibiting local economic growth
  • Creation of a suite of tailored economic development and regeneration projects designed to address specific weaknesses with the village
Outputs:
  • Established a successful and sustainable Town Team
  • Village Economic Masterplan
  • Practical guidance on implementing individual projects
  • Creation of facebook page for community consultation
  • Creation of an online newsletter for general public and local community
  • On-going support with the delivery of specific projects such as the Youth Ambassadors and a new website for Acle
