Parish Infrastructure Investment Plan

The information on this webpage is for parish councils who want to improve community facilities in their area.

Making a Parish Infrastructure Investment Plan (PIIP) is a way to understand what people want for the facilities that they use for play, sport, leisure, and for community activities.

Consultations can allow communities to collectively prioritise projects, and to help design solutions to problems.

Having a community-backed plan can also help to secure external funding.
