Nettlebed Neighbourhood Plan – Have your say

Do we want more of a say in how Nettlebed develops in the future? At the recent Annual Parish Meeting, the idea of a Neighbourhood Plan for Nettlebed was discussed. This is a community-led way of shaping future development so it better reflects local views and protects the character of the village. Before anything moves forward, we need to know: is there enough local interest to make this worthwhile? We’re also looking for a small group of residents to help explore this further as part of an initial Steering Group. If you’re interested in getting involved, or simply want to show support for exploring the idea, please take a moment to register here: RESPOND HERE Or comment/message us if you’d prefer. This only works if people get involved at this early stage – your views really do matter! ...
