A brief history of the development of Ringmer Village Action Plan
| February 2002 | A steering group of parish councillors and other community members was set up to identify key issues of importance to the village. |
| March - April 2002 | The key issues were circulated to community groups for comment and amendment. |
| October - December 2002 | A questionnaire was written and sent out to community groups and individuals for comment and amendment. |
| January - February 2003 | The questionnaire was distributed to all households in Ringmer. The responses were collated and a report produced by a professional analyst. |
| February 2003 onwards | The report was available for public scrutiny at key locations in the village and on the Parish Council and Village web sites. |
| January - March 2003 | A steering committee was reconstituted and considered the main areas for action in the light of the responses to the questionnaire. |
