A number of groups have met to discuss transport, housing,
the environment, community, economic development and our current buildings
around the village. We are moving on
from the previous village plans to create a new vision of what we want for
Eckington in the future. A vision that
the planning authorities have a statutory duty to take into account when making
planning decisions.
Early in January we will be starting our first consultation with as many people in the Parish as
possible. The consultation will be in
the form of a survey delivered to every household. Please complete the survey; we know
it will take a little time but everyone’s opinion is valuable and needed if we
are to prepare an effective Neighbourhood Plan.
Each street has a ‘champion’ who will help you complete the survey and
thus create a combined view of what the village wants for the future of
Eckington.
We have recently received assurances about the extent that
the Plan will be taken into account when planning decisions are made in the
future which is why this is so important for the village.
If you have any concerns or questions please contact us - details are in the box on the right.
