If you would like further information and to share your thoughts, a “drop-in” session will be held at the next Church Hall Coffee morning, Thursday, 22 August, between 11 and 12 noon (Church Hall, Church Lane). A copy of the questionnaire can be viewed and downloaded above if you wish to make or update a response. Please drop completed questionaires into 46 Oaklands. Your opinions in the survey are important to help steer the final neighbourhood plan.
