The Community Plan Group is a constituted group of local volunteers whose aim is ‘To help improve the facilities, services and activities within the parish of Rixton-with-Glazebrook for the benefit of all’.

Many objectives have been achieved since the group was formed including: opening a Community Village Shop, reinstating a Parish Carnival, supporting the Community Hall by introducing a Community Coffee Morning, which has become very popular, and introducing a Rixton Runners Group that do weekly 5K runs around the parish.  Group volunteers have also improved the look of the Parish by holding regular litter picks, sign cleaning sessions, and annual bulb planting.  Guided walks have held twice a year by the group help to promote the local  Footpaths Around Rixton network.  The above activities also helps to bring together residents and organisations in a social environment.

A Parish News booklet is produced twice yearly to update residents on all community groups, schools and Parish Council activities and contacts, click here to view

Meetings are open to the public and held locally at Rixton Methodist Church, Chapel Lane, Rixton WA3 6HG  – all welcome.

The Community Plan Group was formerly known as Parish Plan Group, but the name was changed in order to avoid confusion with the Parish Council.
