Appraisal 1997

INTRODUCTION
The object of this document, besides relaying the
results of the first appraisal conducted in Doddington, is to provide a
portrait of our village for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike. The
reports that follow have been written by groups of villagers and encompass many
aspects of life in Doddington - from the past to the present and future. A
history of the parish and its landmarks is followed by articles concerning
wildlife and the natural environment plus a diary of clubs and societies in the
village.
The final section of this book is dedicated to a graphic
display of the appraisal questionnaire responses, together with comments and
suggestions from residents. Preceding the report of the results is a
re-iteration of the 'mission statement' of the appraisal committee. Since a
staggering 91% response-rate was achieved, the statistics shown can be taken to
be a very accurate measure of the views of villagers. For those interested in
the exact figures, the appendix features a copy of the questionnaire with the
results inserted.
Study groups and the Committee will continue to meet
in order to pursue the interests of residents as expressed within these
results. Anyone wishing to be involved in the process is more than welcome.
Many thanks to all those who distributed, collected and completed the
questionnaire and to the sponsors who helped to make this publication possible;
the result is a document which will no doubt prove useful in shaping the future
of the community. |
