Thanks to those residents who attended the MCNP meeting on Monday 4th April. The Parish Council felt it was a very successful evening with many worthwhile questions being asked leading to hopefully a better understanding of the Plan.

Our thanks to Peter Weston for his help and for looking after the bar. Also our thanks to Russell for helping to wash up – as they say “every little helps”

It is intended to have a follow up meeting in Mid June (date to be advised). We should have made considerable progress to report back to you by then, including:

• numbers and percentages of views expressed in Feb/Mar on the key issues for the neighbourhood
• the revised list of objectives for the neighbourhood plan (as further modified by topic working groups meeting this month)
• results of a housing needs survey across the neighbourhood (which has just been approved by Locality, and will be carried out in May)
• results of various actions by the working groups, collecting evidence, and corresponding with or meeting with various external bodies
