NEROCHE PC COMMUNITY PLAN
The Parish Council of Neroche has decided to carry out a Community Plan instead of reviewing the Neighbourhood Plan. Community Plans are less restrictive and can cover a wider range of topics, such as climate change, the environment,and health and well-being. They also take significantly less time to complete.
The Community Council for Somerset, with funding from Somerset County Council, provided support for parishes to formulate a questionnaire, host it online, and bring together the answers to produce a final report on areas the community would like local government to focus its attention.
The Parish Council is grateful to the group of people who have worked on this project, both parish councillors and parishioners.
They are also grateful to the parishioners who took the time to complete the online questionnaire. The Parish Council is confident that the findings of this review will help to shape the future of Neroche. They encourage residents to join the Parish Council and attend meetings.
