Tidworth Community Area Strategic Action Plan
CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD
TIDWORTH
COMMUNITY AREA PARTNERSHIP'S
STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN
The Tidworth Community Area Partnership (TCAP) has come a long way since it was formed on 19 September 2002. However this is not altogether surprising as we have a history of partnership working going back many years. Partnership in Tidworth goes back at least to when the town itself was split between Wiltshire and Hampshire. It was in 1992 that the border changed and Tidworth was placed completely into Wiltshire and this provided a catalyst to form a regeneration partnership, consisting of Wiltshire County Council, Kennet District Council and the Army. In 1993 Shankland Cox was tasked to produce a report to show the way ahead for the next 10 to 15 years. In 1996 this partnership was rewarded with a successful bid for a Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) grant. By 2000 as a direct result of its work over the previous few years, the Partnership was selected as a finalist in the British Urban Regeneration Association Awards and Tidworth Development Trust (TDT) was formed.
Central Government also brought in the requirement for Local Strategic Partnerships to be formed throughout the country and in 2002 the existing partnership extended its area of operations to include all the parishes around Tidworth and Ludgershall and the membership of the partnership was expanded to represent the enlarged Area. At the same time TDT extended its area of operations to the same boundaries. Many of the recommendations of the Shankland Cox Report (which was Tidworth specific) have been achieved and the Entec Report updated this report in 2002. Entec consulted across the wider Community Area and highlighted that although a great deal has already been achieved there is still much more to be done. The TCAP Strategic Action Plan, which this short foreword introduces, backs up the Tidworth Community Area Community Plan.
Together, these documents identify
the important actions and projects that TCAP and the thematic groups working for TCAP intend to concentrate
on over the next 10-15 years.
I trust you will find this plan easy to
read and I look forward, with your help and contributions, to achieving as much in the next 10 years
as we have previously.
