Neighbourhood planning is a new right for
communities introduced through the Localism Act
2011. For the first time, local people will have a
major statutory say in helping to shape
development in the areas in which they live.
People in Denmead are already planning for the future. Through the Denmead
Neighbourhood Forum we are developing a Neighbourhood Plan which will
shape future development over the next 20 years. We want to know the views
of local businesses and employees in the area – and we want your voice to be
heard as the plan is developed over the next year.
Come and join in - find out more and let us know what matters to you by
coming to a Business Breakfast on Friday 3 August at 8am at Barnards
Restaurant, Hambledon Road, Denmead. Please RSVP to The Clerk to the
Council by email [email protected] or telephoning 023 9224
7947.
Whether or not you are able to come we would appreciate it if you could take 5
minutes to complete the attached questionnaire. This will be analysed
independently and the main findings used to shape our discussions on 3 August.
The completed survey can be returned to the box in the Newsagents or posted
to The Parish Council, The Old School, School Lane, Denmead, PO7 6LU.
