The County Council has opened a public consultation over how and where the council builds additional housing. If you remain silent, you may not like the result. Small villages like ours need to respond to avoid being lost in the noise of larger towns.

If you only do one thing…

The survey is a nightmare of confusion, and extremely long and difficult to navigate, howeveryou do not have to answer all the questions.

Questions 11-24 are important, but if you only do one thing, question 11 is the one for you!

This is about the number of new houses to be put in the plan. Option A is in line with government recommendations, does the most to preserve our rurality, and is the best defence against the creation of a new town.

If you would like more information on the main issues we feel need to be highlighted, like carbon-neutral construction, adequate infra-structure and parking in a county with poor public transport, just reply to this email and we'll do our best to help you.
