The Steering Group members in each parish have organised events at which you can find out more about the Neighbourhood Plan and how it affects you. You can have your say on the day, or fill in a small questionnaire online HERE. Have a look at the meeting dates on the right hand side of this page for the meetings most appropriate to you. We have created events both during the day and the evening so that hopefully everyone will have an opportunity to attend.

If the meetings in your parish are not convenient, have a look at the dates in the other 2 parishes. This process is for a single Neighbourhood Plan to cover all 3 parishes, so any meeting can be relevant to you.

A request for all you budding David Baileys out there. We need some good representative photographs of each parish to use on this website. If you have any that you don’t mind us using, please let me have them at gyldageoff@hotmail.com, and any we use will be given full credit.

The Steering Group met on Monday 18th February, and were given a presentation by Apt on their part in our Neighbourhood Plan process. This covered the relevant evidence base for Neighbourhood planning, Topic related evidence, whether we need a Neighbourhood Plan area profile or individual parish profiles, and GIS information for data mapping.

We need to get as many views from the residents of the three parishes as possible. Initially, this is in the form of a short survey. A link to the survey can be found on the home page or by clicking HERE.

Your data privacy is taken very seriously. If you wish to read the policy detailing how we protect your personal data, please click here.

For those living in Moreton Say Parish, you should find an envelope dropping on your doormat over the next few days, with the dates of the daytime and evening Neighbourhood Plan events planned for the Clive Hall.

Other arrangements have been made to send out this information for Adderley and Norton-in-Hales.

If you do not receive this information, please contact one of the representatives for your parish on the Contacts Page.

The steering group have unanimously accepted the agreements with SRCC and APT, thereby appointing them as the consultants for the different phases of the Neighbourhood Plan creation.

This was a very helpful workshop which Renee from SRCC ran for a representative from each Parish Council. It highlighted the ways of communicating including updating the website and press releases along with the events in each Parish and also the documents which were needed within the Neighbourhood Plan process. It was also explained that it was sometimes the smaller tasks which needed extra volunteers to help with and suggested that everyone tried to identify different people who may be able to help with these smaller tasks.

On 12th December 2018 Shropshire Council resolved to approve the designated area of the Three Parishes Neighbourhood Plan and published this decision on their website. This means that we can now go forward with the rest of the process to create the plan for the three parishes.

Members of the Steering Group met with Renee from SRCC and representatives of apT on 5th December at Adderley Village Hall. The representatives from each Parish described their area, population, features etc and also the reasons for wanting to undertake this joint Neighbourhood Plan. Renee then went through a draft schedule of works to detailing who would be doing what and explained how the complimentary skills of apT and SRCC would benefit the project. Costings were also discussed based on the Expressions of Interest already received and also the optional work was explained.

Renee introduced herself, and the work of SRCC, and thanked the group for allowing them to work with the steering group to complete phase 1 of the project along with Apt. The meeting discussed the need to engage and consult with as many of the residents as possible regarding the Neighbourhood Plan and how different events would be required to reach different demographics with day events as well as evening ones. Renee explained the need for a Communications Strategy, incorporating the new GDPR legislation, along with the details of other community groups and any events they were holding that the Neighbourhood Plan group could tap into. It was decided that one, or possibly two members from each parish should meet Renee with all the above information relating to their parish and work out a programme of events across the three parishes.
