After my fictional blog looking back at the success of a Town Council from the vantage point of 2015 I was delighted recently when someone pointed out this – Frome Town Council’s strategic plan is written in a similar way to the blog.

It would be nice to think that the blog was mildly influential in this presentation, though it is a common device for strategies, moreso in the private sector perhaps.

Anyway, the main reason for pointing this out is that unlike my 30 minutes of localism fantasy (I clearly need to get out more) this is a very well worked through document, which definitely deserves a readership well beyond Frome, as an exemplar of what that particular tier of government can achieve if it puts it mind to it.
