Nettlebed Neighbourhood Plan – Have your say

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
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.
