Neighbourhood Plan Update. The parish council would like to thank everyone who attended the Neighbourhood Plan public meeting on January 25.

This was a great opportunity to update residents on the work that has been carried out so far and to capture feedback.

This feedback will be used to help with the next phase; the formation of policies which will form the Neighbourhood Plan.
