Bodmin Vision

The resulting statement (which can be read in full in the Useful Documents section below) sets out the Vision for the town and the Top Priority Areas for Action which will help to deliver that Vision.

It is designed to be an ambitious, realistic and credible ‘Agenda for Bodmin’.

In the short term, the intention is to direct efforts through four local groups (outlined below). There will be Town Council representatives on each group and a standing invitation to Bodmin’s Cornwall Councillors and other partners to attend each group according to their primary interests and availability. You can read more about the delivery proposals, the groups responsible for them and who to contact, by clicking on the relevant box below. At present there are no additional resources, so delivery is dependent on some redirection of existing resources, together with goodwill and voluntary action!

The partnership which has supported the work so far is an informal collaboration of local organisations and interests committed to delivering Bodmin’s potential. An informal steering group based around representatives of each of the below delivery groups and key stakeholders in the Vision launch – including Rev’d Paul Holley, Fin Irwin, Phil Ugalde, Cornwall Councillor Pat Rogerson, along with Bodmin’s Mayor Phil Cooper and Councillor Jeremy Cooper – has been formed and will meet every six weeks. In addition, the whole partnership plans to meet twice a year to take a strategic overview of progress, determine any changes to priorities, and renew the impetus to follow through on Priority Actions.
