Planning for Future

The survey also explored whether members thought that more structured consideration should be given to the future of BIVC.  This is an area from which that BIVC – perhaps surprisingly – has in the past shied away.

Only 8% that this was a waste of time with 51% feeling that such a plan would be of definite benefit to BIVC.

The Working Party has suggested that, the following may be a way forward that the majority of members would see as a constructive, that :

  1. All members be consulted on the future of BIVC and how it might be achieved – the survey identified that members valued being consulted.
  2. Consideration of any significant expenditure be suspended until a plan for the future can be formulated and approved by members.
  3. Proposals be brought forward to fund objectives / initiatives identified in the plan – funding being drawn from all areas of BIVC resources.  After this has been achieved, the use of any remaining capital assets can be reassessed.
