The parish council produced a village plan 2002 - 2007, which had 11 objectives, two of which were; Improve Village Environment and Improve Community Awareness. Under this plan there is also a PROW initiative, this is a network of Public Rights of Way (PROW). These are areas which need major refurbishment, such as; fine walks, historical reminders of the mining and agricultural past. The grant will be used towards the costs of this work.
