FOREWORD

I am delighted and honoured to be asked to write this foreword to the Wragby Parish Plan.

In September 2005 the Parish Council arranged a public meeting to 'kick start' Wragby's Parish Plan. From this the first steering group was formed. There have been a few changes to the group since they took their first faltering steps, as some members left and others joined. Finally they settled down and a core of hardworking dedicated members took on the task of creating Wragby's Parish Plan. Not only did they deliver the questionnaires to every one of the 700 odd households in Wragby as the opinions of the people were sought, but they also had to devise the questionnaires. As well as the household questionnaires, they sent out questionnaires to businesses, clubs, our young people and the surrounding villages to get their views. They were collected, collated and assessed. It was hard but rewarding work.

As Chairman, I have always wanted to know what people really want and this was an ideal opportunity to find out. However, it is not possible for example, to interfere in areas beyond our parish boundary. We have no influence, other than lobbying, over providing cycle paths or wildlife areas in parishes other than our own. This applies even more in districts other than East Lindsey, bordered as we are on the West and North by West Lindsey District Council; it is up to those Councils and parishes to decide their own priorities.

The Steering Group have done a fantastic job. On behalf of Wragby Parish Council I would like to congratulate them all.

Most importantly of all, I would like to say a very special 'thank you' to all the people who took the time and trouble to fill in, return the questionnaires and give us your views. Without you, none of this would have been possible.

Councillor Mrs June Elborn Chairman Wragby Parish Council

WRAGBY PARISH PLAN

a summary

INTRODUCTION.

How we produced our Parish Plan

In order to consult with the community it was essential to create questionnaires. The questions used were based on the results of discussions with various members of the community over a period of time.

Wragby was divided up into areas with a person being responsible for both delivery and collection in that area. Each person was asked to count the numbers delivered and collected. In addition, each person undertook to evaluate the responses from their own area. In the first instance, for all areas, the quantity returned approximated to 50% of those delivered. In the second instance, although not planned, each area consisted of a particular section of the community, i.e. new, owner occupied, social housing, original residents (both rented and owned). The outcome from this implies that every section of the community has views and aspirations for the future of Wragby.

There were approximately 710 questionnaires delivered, with 350 being completed and returned. Taking into account that a number of properties were empty, and that a number of people were away on holiday, it would be reasonable to say that there was a 50% return across Wragby, or a 2:1 ratio.

All the comments and responses have been recorded and analysed by groups of volunteer parishioners who looked for any common themes and well supported ideas. The results of this survey are discussed under the different chapters of this Plan.

POPULATION.

Out of a population of approximately 1,500, 748 people were involved in completing the household questionnaire; again a good 2.1 ratio. Using this ratio throughout our assessment of the responses, we have found that 45.5% of our residents are over sixty years of age, this follows the national trend of an aging population, 13.3% are sixteen years and younger. The remaining 41.2% are of working age.

In order to make some comparison between the results from the 2001 Census figures and the results returned by our questionnaire of 2006, it became necessary to consider multiplying the questionnaire returns by a factor of 2. Over a period of period of 5 years, it can be seen that there is quite a change in the various age groups. Both the under 16 and under 60 age ranges show a fall in numbers, while both of the groups over 60 years show an increase in numbers, this being particularly noticeable in the 60 to 74 age range.

Approximately 29% of those that responded came to Wragby for their retirement, but 47% were either born here or had family connections with the village. Other reasons for coming to Wragby varied from low housing costs compared to their present locations, easy commute to Lincoln and an attractive, quiet area.

HOUSING.

From the answers received, it transpires that almost a quarter of households in Wragby are single occupancy (exact figure 23.4%), which, when compared to the figures from the 2001 census shows a decline. The overall figure gave a figure of 2.1 occupancy per household; which compares favourably with the national average of 2.2.

Of the 9.75% of the responders, who said that they were looking for alternative accommodation, exactly half said that were looking for owner occupied accommodation whilst the other half needed either rented or low cost housing. If these percentages are translated into figures, it follows that about 37 low cost or rented houses are needed in Wragby, in addition to those already here. Although there are some large scale building projects in Wragby at present, only time will tell as to whether these houses will sell for a figure within the reach of the lower paid amongst us. Income in this area has not kept pace with the increase in house prices, which have doubled in the past five years. If the new houses are not sold at an affordable price, we could see many of our young people migrating to a cheaper area.

Government policy allows the Local Planning Authority (in our case, East Lindsey District Council) to require a proportion of housing development land to be set aside for affordable housing. At present ELDC asks for all housing sites of over 1 hectare or 25 dwellings to contribute between 10% and 30% as affordable housing, depending on evidence of local need (usually measured by the numbers on the Housing Register). It is now considering revising this requirement so that it will apply to smaller sites of 15 dwellings where it may also require a higher percentage contribution of affordable housing.

At present, although there are a number of developments in Wragby that are either under way, or due to be started, only one site falls into the above criteria. That one is the site of the old plastics factory in Bardney Road. None of the sites come under the label 'green-field'. According to the ELDC, currently Wragby has reached saturation in terms of green-field housing development. However, they must consider applications for development on brown-field sites.

EMPLOYMENT.

Almost half of those that replied said they were not in employment (48.2%). How many of these were of pensionable age is unsure. Of those that were in employment only 17.7% worked in Wragby with 34% working outside the village. The closure of MacKenzie Plastics caused a great deal of unemployment in Wragby. 9% of the villagers said that they were actively seeking work but were prevented from doing so by either the cost of child care, lack of transport or lack of the right qualifications or experience. From this it can be deduced that the government's objective of affordable child care and training schemes for the unemployed, is not working in Wragby.

Of the people who answered the question 'What businesses should be encouraged in Millbrook Business Park?' 61.3% suggested light industry, whilst 38.3% suggested office space. Millbrook Business Park has become something of a white elephant in Wragby, dashing the hopes of those who would like to work locally.

Entrance to Millbrook Business Park

EDUCATION.

Wragby Primary School

Wragby Primary School has 91 pupils between the ages of 5yrs and 11yrs. All schoolchildren over 11yrs attend schools outside the area in Horncastle, Market Rasen or Cherry Willingham. The secondary school children are transported to school by one of the many school buses that come into the area. These buses also pick up children who are brought into Wragby from the outlying villages.

When the young people were asked about where they would go for information or advice on a career or further education, 22 said 'school' 22 said 'the internet' and 13 opted for the 'resource centre'.

There are few, if any, vocational classes available in Wragby for adult residents. Most people needing these classes would have to travel further afield to Lincoln, Louth, Horncastle or Market Rasen. Some of the respondents asked for more classes at the Resource Centre for Adult Education or Learn Direct and for night classes to be held either at the Resource Centre or the school.

PARKING.

Parking is seen as a problem by the majority of the residents, with two thirds of them asking for an additional car park. Again, approximately two thirds of those that responded also called for a time limit on parking in the Market Place to prevent all day parking. When asked for suggestions for the siting of an additional car park, the majority opted for the site of the present fire station when it is moved to a new location on the Business Park.

FACILITIES.

Post Office.

At least 60% of those that replied use the Post Office for postal services, vehicle licences and other bills or pensions and allowances, showing a need to keep the Post Office in the village.

Health Services.

Of those that had used the Doctor's surgery during the past year98% rated the service 'reasonable' or 'good'. Of those that had used the District Nurse, only 2% had rated them 'poor'. The Heath Visitor was rated 'good or 'reasonable' by 91%, with only 4% rating the Ambulance service as 'poor'. 80% thought that the Chiropody service was 'good' or 'reasonable' and 81% gave the Home Help service a 'good' or 'reasonable' rating. Maternity care, meals on wheels, and physiotherapy services came out with the majority giving a 'poor' rating.

Fire, Ambulance & Police Services.

Our firemen came out very well with 92% giving a 'good' score. The ambulance service also gained a 'good' score, with 88% support.

Unfortunately the police did not fare so well with only 22% rating them 'good', 30% rating them 'reasonable' and 48% giving them a 'poor' rating.

Shops.

The range of shopping facilities in the village was given a 'good' score by 30%, a 'reasonable' rating by 51% and only 19% thought the service 'poor'.

FACILITIES NOT LISTED.

Some of the facilities that a few people thought were lacking in Wragby included;

Petrol Station. Bridge Club. Tai Chi for older people. Post Box in Bardney Road. More for Younger Children.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE VILLAGE.

Almost half of the responses thought that hanging baskets and/or planters would improve the Market Place, and about a third liked the idea of tree planting. Other suggestions included:-

Planters on posts at village signs. Planters on railings in the Market Place. More benches. Trees planted to prevent parking on verges. Litter warden. More dog bins. More support for the 'Wragby in Bloom' competition. A 'Keep Village Tidy' campaign.

74% of respondents said that they wanted Wragby to have its own pictorial sign at the entrances to the village, but when it came to replacing or improving the amenity signs within the village they were split 50/50. Closer inspection of the answers gave the impression that the residents that called for more amenity signs were the newcomers; the long term residents apparently did not need them. They were also split 50/50 about the provision of more notice boards, even though a third of them had no idea where the parish notice board was located. A high number of villagers thought that an information map was needed in the Market Place for both the community and tourists.

TOURISM.

59.8% of responses thought that tourists should be encouraged and suggested that there should be more provision of Bed and Breakfast trade, Guest Houses and sites for touring caravans.

ROADS.

Of the questionnaires returned, almost everyone answered the question about the safety of the roads. Over half thought that they were unsafe. Suggestions for increased safety include:-;

Pedestrian Crossings (26%). Speed Cameras (26%). By Pass (26%). Rumble strips (22%). One way system in Silver Street

Midday Traffic in Wragby

Most of the replies, thought that the state of the pavements were reasonable.

PARISH COUNCIL.

60% of the villagers would like the Parish Council to have its own website.

The majority (61%) thought that Wragby should not have Town Status.

Only 9.6% thought that the cost of implementing new projects should come from moderate or higher council tax increases with the majority (87%) saying that the money should come from private contributions, sponsorship, fund-raising or grants.

CONCLUSION.

It would appear from the responses to the questionnaire that Wragby is following the trend of an aging population. This has been actively encouraged by house builders in recent years by the almost over-provision of dwellings suitable for the older, more affluent person. The younger, local people are now finding it impossible to get on the housing ladder as the area becomes more attractive to the older generation and house prices rise as a result. Unless affordable housing is built either to buy/part buy or rent, many young people are going to be forced out of the village and their families will become fragmentised. Without a support network of family and friends, some are going to find it difficult to cope. This is a nationwide problem which must be addressed. We can try however, to address it in Wragby, by insisting that the planning authorities adhere to the national guidelines for low cost housing.

Wragby people want to be proud of their village. This has come over strongly from the results of the questionnaire. They want their Market Place brightened up, they want pictorial signs announcing the village, and they want a map for visitors, giving information about the village. They will welcome tourists with open arms; this is surprising when one thinks of the traffic during the summer months on the way to the coast. They would like more bed and breakfast or guest houses, as well as a caravan site to encourage them to stay a while and enjoy the area. They would also like more benches for the visitors and the residents to rest awhile. Although Wragby itself does not have a lot of tourist attractions, its location along with the surrounding road network, makes it a very good location for days out. It is ideal for those who do not want to sit on a beach all day. On the other hand they are not very keen about being called a town.

There is certainly a need for more employment in the area. The high hopes with which the residents greeted the Business Park have been dashed as it has been left barren for several years now. This badly needs to be addressed and soon. The villagers need jobs and this will lead to a better village economy and a better future for all.

The young people must not be left out of planning the future for Wragby; they are our future. We need to keep them here by giving them something to occupy them as children, jobs as teenagers and homes as young marrieds. Unless we address the problems of the young people from the cradle to independence we will drive them away.

YOUNG PEOPLE.

Separate surveys were sent out for young people up to the age of sixteen, in addition to the section within the main questionnaire. This was because we wanted to know what the young people themselves wanted from Wragby - not what the grown-ups thought that they would, or should want. The exception was for the under fives, when surveys were sent to both of the preschool groups for completion.

35 of Wragby's under fives attend one or other of the preschool groups. The Bright Sparks caters for children from 0 to 5yrs with their mothers and meet weekly at All Saints Church and has an average of 10 members. The Preschool Group have 25 children and cater for children from 2 to 4yrs of age.

Both groups have said that they would use the Town Hall Park and Dove Park more extensively if the areas could be fenced off more securely for the children's safety. The Preschool Group in particular, were concerned for the safety of the children when arriving and leaving the area and asked for a 20mph speed limit in Silver Street and a safe way of crossing the main A158 and A157 main roads. Apart from those concerns they were pretty satisfied with Wragby from the children's point of view.

Church Summer Fete in Dove Park

91 children were questioned from Wragby Primary School, from the results there were 21 that came from the outlying villages. Classes 2 to 5 took part in responding to their questionnaires. Our schoolchildren are a lively bunch with most of them using the facilities in Wragby. 71 of the children also took part in after school activities. All of them can and do use a computer.

The additional facilities that they would like to have included:-

Sports field where they can play football, rugby, and cricket or just run around and fly a kite.

Teen shelter - 66 asked for this with the majority opting for Dove Park as the site. Skate Park for skate boards and roller skating. Somewhere safe to ride their bikes (although the children learn to ride their

bicycles safely and correctly at school, there is nowhere in Wragby where it is safe to ride).

Playground equipment for older children. The pupils state that equipment is provided for the little ones and the teenagers have their Youth Club, but there is nothing for the in-betweens.

Tennis. The children would like to learn to play tennis, to have the courts refurbished and a proper tennis coach.

Goal posts and nets. The Town Hall Park has only one set of goal posts and no nets.

More festivals and events. New books in the resource centre. Safe crossings on the Horncastle Road and the Louth Road.

The Playground

The Uniformed Group is made up of Brownies, Rainbows and Guides and Cubs. Unfortunately we had no response from the Cubs. They have 52 members, about half of them from the outlying villages. They meet weekly at their headquarters in Wirehill Lane. They have some disabled members. They did not ask for anything extra, but it can be supposed that they have already taken part in the schools questionnaires.

Brownies Entertaining Senior Citizens at Christmas

11 members of the Youth Club returned their questionnaires. Their ages range from 11 to 16yrs of age. The Youth Club meets three times weekly in their building adjacent to the Sports Hall. Their activities cover a wide range, including having tournaments with other clubs, snooker and various sports as well as the usual listening to music or watching a film on their DVD. They have their own hard surface football area which is well used and they also use the Sports Hall.

They use all the facilities that Wragby has to offer.

Many of the young people said that they hung around with their mates when the Youth Club was closed. They complained that there is nothing for them to do in Wragby. All of them used a computer and most of them used it for homework.

A number of them use the computers at the Resource Centre when it is open. Only three took part in after school activities, with most of them saying that transport home was the biggest problem, plus the expense of bus or taxi fares

Additional facilities that they would like to see in Wragby included;

• Teen Shelter (100% asked for this with 90% suggesting Dove Park as the location.

• Public sports field where they could play all sports including football and rugby.

• Skate Park (50% asked for this).

• Proper goal posts and nets in the Town Hall Park.

• Activity Centre for when the Youth Centre is closed.

Dove Park

CONCLUSION.

There appears to be an overwhelming need for the young people to have somewhere to 'hang out' and for something to keep them occupied during holidays and weekends. Even the junior school children complained that they were not catered for; too young for the Youth Club and too old for the playground. They all made good use of the facilities in Wragby, but when asked how they occupied their free time, the majority replied, 'wander the streets'. This can lead to trouble of some sort even if they are innocent, because older people sometimes see large groups of youngsters as a threat. The young people have a great variety of interests and they would like to be able to pursue them in Wragby, (not all have parents who can ferry them back and forth to town, even if they could afford it). They want somewhere where they can ride their bikes, an area where they can skate or roller blade. They want to learn to play tennis. They want a sports field where they have a kick about or get together a team for football, cricket or rugby, and they want to 'hang out with their mates' without being moved on.

We can hardly complain that our children are becoming a nation of 'couch potatoes' if we deny them the activities that they need.

BUSINESS IN WRAGBY.

65 Questionnaires were sent out to all the businesses in Wragby. 20 were returned, however as a large number were sent out to private addresses, it was concluded that these were one or at the most, two man businesses run from home and that these people had also received the household questionnaires.

From the responses received, the 20 businesses between them employed 372 people, although the household responses showed only 172 (using the 2:1 ratio), worked in the village. This suggests that there are 200 people who come into Wragby to work, or work for an employer who is based in the village. Fifteen of the employers expected their work force to remain the same during the following year; four said that they anticipated an increase whilst only one expected their workforce to decrease during the coming months.

As to be expected the majority of the businesses that responded, are retail; the shopping area being the focal point of Wragby.

Seventeen of the businesses had had a problem filling vacancies during the past year; they said that this was due to a) lack of required skills or qualifications, b) no work experience and c) lack of suitable applicants with basic abilities. All of these answers point to some need for training and/or vocational courses within, or fairly local to, Wragby, if these vacancies are to be filled by local people.

More business development was also the request of fifteen of the businesses, while nineteen of them thought that small scale industrial workshops should be developed, particularly specialist craft and manufacturers, businesses that complimented and supplied each other and other 'one off' experts. These, they felt would draw customers in from outside the area.

Business Support

Industrial Workshops

Millbrook Business Park was a recurring theme among the various replies. Almost all the responses query the future of the Park. The Chair of the Parish Council has recently spoken to Nigel Howells the CEO of East Lindsey District Council, who has told her that negotiations are being made to push progress on the site and we now await developments. Whilst on the subject of Millbrook, it appears that the majority of businesses feel that ELDC should offer incentives for businesses to locate, pretty much as Central Government does when trying to attract large employers to deprived areas in this country. They ask for reduced rates for a period, maybe a rate 'holiday' for a few years, to enable new businesses to get off the ground, development grants and lower rents; all businesses have to be profitable to survive.

Parking was also considered a problem, especially by the retail trades who said that their customers could not park because of the number of people who parked their cars whilst taking the bus into Lincoln or using a car share scheme, thus taking up a large part of the car park all day.

A large number (seventeen) said that bureaucracy and banking were a problem. Whilst nothing can be done at local level about bureaucracy and banking can be done at the post office, it is possibly a 'chicken and egg' type of problem, in that only more businesses will encourage the banks to locate an outlet in Wragby.

CONCLUSION.

On the whole, Wragby could be viewed as an attractive location for small businesses, there are certainly enough people looking for work in the area to make recruiting less of a problem. Promotion of Wragby is needed to encourage more business, more tourists, and more people of working age, and this can only be achieved by the Parish Council, District Council and Lincolnshire County Council working together.

CLUBS, SPORTS & ORGANISTAIONS.

Wragby is well served with clubs that are both sports and leisure orientated for a village of its size. From the information that we have, there are 20 clubs, groups and organisations based in Wragby. A large number of these have members from outside the parish. Below is a list of clubs and organisations currently operating in the village.

Bowls Club.

The Bowls season runs from April to September.

Football.

The village has several teams competing in local leagues. These start from junior mixed teams through to adult teams.

Swimming Club.

You do not have to be a member, but being one brings the benefit of great savings. They have various different sessions to cater for a range of age groups plus those with disabilities.

Walking Group.

This is not a formal club but a group of people who like walking

Whist Club.

This group meet regularly in the Town Hall.

Heritage Group.

These are people who are interested in the history of Wragby and its conservation.

Age Concern.

The group provides companionship and stimulation for the elderly.

Disability Lincs.

This group meets weekly in the Town Hall for their disabled members.

Amateur Dramatics.

The group puts on a number of shows throughout the year.

Women's' Institute.

The WI meets monthly in the Town Hall.

VENUES.

The village has a several venues where activities can be held, depending on the activity.

Town Hall.

This has a large room with stage, small annexe, Toilets, kitchen and good access for the disabled.

Resource Centre.

Run by Lincolnshire County Council Library Services, the Centre has a small library, and on-line computers free to use.

Sports Centre.

Available for the organisation of any sports, also has a squash court.

Dove Park & Playground.

These are open areas for all the family to enjoy. The playground does have a certain amount of playground equipment. This is the property of the Town Hall and is situated to the rear.

CHURCHES.

There are two churches in Wragby, the Anglican church of All Saints and the Methodist Church. They work together for the people of the village and information about both are to be found in the Wraggoe News, the parish magazine published by All Saints which is open to all sections of the community.

CONCLUSIONS.

There were a lot of requests for all sorts of other sports that the residents would like to be available, some could be done with venues that are currently available but people have to step forward to organise and run them.

About 12.5% of Wragby people belonged to a club or organisation and attended on a regular basis. Of the sports that people would like to see in Wragby, the majority asked for Keep Fit, followed by Squash, Cricket, Football, and a Gym. Shooting, Archery, Snooker and Pilates were also popular. The favourite venues for these activities were, the Sports Hall and the Town Hall. A high number asked for a sports/recreational field to be purchased by the Parish.

When asked if they would join a Social Club for the whole family, 190 said that they would be interested.

PLANS FOR ACTION.

We created ten action plans, based on the wishes of the majority of the responses. Some of these plans can be put into practice fairly soon, some may take a year or two, and others, such as a sports field, would have to be a long term project, whilst finance and land were sourced.

WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE.

1. Better Communication.

A web site for Parish Council and village information. An information board showing a map of Wragby and facilities. A parish newsletter to every household. A notice board for clubs and organisations. More Parish Council notice boards. Regular communication with the Police Service.

2. Road Safety.

Safe ways of crossing the 'A' roads. Four way pedestrian controlled crossings linked to the traffic lights at crossroads. traffic calming measures through village. Better street lighting in Church St and Louth Rd (Town Hall).

3. Improve the Market Place & village boundaries.

Pictorial village signs at village boundaries. Hanging baskets/planters in the Market Place. Support 'Wragby in Bloom' competition.

4. Improved car parking.

Long stay car park for people who drive into Wragby to catch the bus or car share with friends.

Time limit on Market Place car park when the above is achieved.

5. Low cost & social housing for Wragby people.

Lobby ELDC/Linx Housing to give priority to Wragby people. Low cost housing commensurate with income in the area.

6. Improve facilities for young people.

Provide a shelter for young people to 'hang out' with friends. Refurbish tennis courts and provide a coach. Provide another set of goal posts and nets in Town Hall park.

( These last two will need to be done in liaison with the Town Hall Management Committee).

7. Encourage more business.

Push for development on Millbrook Business Park. Promote Wragby on the web site.

8. Encourage tourism.

Encourage B & B's and guest houses (Involve Tourist Board). Promote Wragby's facilities/attractions on web site. Make the village more attractive.

9. Wildlife area.

Provide an area to protect wildlife and achieve a quiet place for people to enjoy.

10. Public Recreation field.

Provide a parish owned sports field with pavilion.

Some of the items listed can be done in the short term, while others have to be a long term project. How much gets done and how soon will depend on any grant support we can get.
