TOWN COUNCILLORS ARE ASKING FOR YOUR VIEWS in the next stage of consultation in developing the Neighbourhood Plan.

Responding to the first survey and priorities identified the Town Council is now seeking further clarification on the town’s views regarding Town Centre Regeneration and Business development which were the two areas that concerned residents the most.

The questionnaires will be available to download or complete on-line. Hard copies can be picked up at Market Square,
Sainsburys and The Library as well as the Town Council offices. All hard copies should be returned to the Town Council. The closing date for these questionnaires is 1 March 2012 and they will be followed by the next area of consultation.

The results will be used to determine the policies and details to be included in the Neighbourhood Plan which when complete will be consulted on yet further.

Cllr Heidi Brunsdon Chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group said “there was a fantastic response to the initial survey and it is hoped this survey will provide the evidence to support the plan that emerges over the next few months. Residents should watch for the advertising and check the website to make sure that they are part of this consultation and can express their views as to the changes they want in their town.”
