The Community Strategic Action Plan

The Community Strategic Action Plan (CSAP) was published in 2006 by a group of residents of Saltash and the surrounding area of South East Cornwall operating under the auspices of the Market and Coastal Town Initiative. It sets out briefly our vision for how the town and surrounding villages – the Saltash Gateway area – might develop over the next 20 years.

Unlike many 'development plans' produced by commercial developers or by the Planning Authorities, our Community Plan takes at its starting point the question: what do we, the people living here, actually want? If we want to make Saltash a better place to live, work, shop, study, raise families or grow old in, how do we achieve that?

Our conclusions were the result of two years worth of research, consultation, discussion and debate, that have involved hundreds of residents of all ages, from all over the Gateway Area. We have tried to include this diversity of views in the Plan. We have tried to think big, and to be creative in our thinking.

We hope that you will take the time to read the Saltash Gateway Community Action Plan, and to consider the ideas in it.

Since the plan was published in 2006 we have been working on a range of practical projects that will help meet its aims and objectives, however there is more work to be done.

If you, like us, want to get actively involved in making some of these ideas happen, we hope you will consider joining us as we continue with the delivery of the plan through the Saltash Gateway Community Interest Company.

Saltash Gateway CIC is an open and democratic organisation, owned and managed by the community, that will begin to make these changes happen. Membership is free, and we encourage anyone over the age of 18 who lives, works or studies in the Saltash Gateway area to join. You can apply to join the CIC as a member by completing the form online from the Join us link in the menu on the left..

The plan and apendicies are published as a set of PDF files. You can find an index here with links to the individual files, or look in the document library under CSAP 2006.
