by Wickhambrook Parish Clerk
At its November meeting Wickhambrook Parish Council agreed a response to West Suffolk’s consultation on Issues and Options—the first stage in its developing a new local plan. You can find out more about the process and the parish council’s response in the news section at wickhambrook.org/news.
Many local residents attended the online meeting, and many more have contacted the parish council to make known their views. These were taken into consideration in finalising its response to West Suffolk.
The parish council recognised the depth of feeling about some of the issues and options set out in the consultation, and has worked with West Suffolk to facilitate an on-line meeting so that residents can find out more about their plans, and how to respond.
