Still time to create a shared vision for your neighbourhood

THERE is still time to have your say on the proposed Melksham Neighbourhood Plan.

The plan – which is in draft form and under consultation – helps to develop a shared vision for the communities of Melksham and Melksham Without, for people to live and work, by influencing the planning priorities in the years to come.

The deadline for responses to the draft plan is midnight on Monday 27th July – and responses received will help shape the final version of the plan, which will also be presented for public consultation, prior to a referendum on the plan.

Parish officer at Melksham Without Parish Council, Lorraine McRandle, told Melksham News, “We have had a great response so far to the consultation – the community is engaging well with the proposal and sharing their comments on the policies within the plan.

“We would encourage everyone in the community to have their say – there is still time to do so!” 

Melksham Without Parish Council and Melksham Town Council has been working together on the project, alongside a whole host of community members who form the steering group.

An online copy of the plan is available at www.melkshamneighbourhoodplan.org 

Any person or organisation may comment on the plan.
