Sherborne Area Partnership was established in October 2003 to work with local people, voluntary, commercial and statutory organisations to develop an agreed Action Plan for Sherborne and the surrounding villages. Our primary objective has been to identify gaps in services or problems with existing ones and then work together to improve matters. The Partnership is funded by West Dorset District Council, Sherborne Town Council and Dorset County Council.
At its meeting on Monday 19th September 2011 the Town Council decided that SAP would focus on 6 areas of work - PACT (Partners & Communities Together) with Dorset Police, Sherborne in Bloom, Sherborne Stop the Litter Campaign, Sherborne Skatepark Group, Sherborne Area Tourism Forum and the Front Runner Neighborhood Plan.
SAP has 3 part-time staff - Nigel Engert (Partnership Co-ordinator - 2nd photo), Caz Rowland (Community Development Officer - 3rd photo) and Sally Westlotorn (Partnership Administrator - 4th photo).
Nigel is the lead officer for the Front Runner Neighbourhood Plan and Pact, while Caz leads on the other areas of work with the exception of Sherborne Area Tourism Forum for whom Sally will act as Minutes Secretary.
Our Chairman is Cllr Marjorie Snowden and Treasurer Cllr Anthony Cook were both nominated by Sherborne Town Council at its meeting on Monday 16th May 2011.
