Continuing growth of Neighbourhood Planning

Parishes within the Caddington ward of Central Bedfordshire are engaging well with Neighbourhood Planning.

Caddington and Slip End are reasonably well advanced with their joint plan, Kensworth have started the process and Studham meet again this week to map out how they will start preparing their Neighbourhood Plan.

Each of these plans will have a different focus to reflect the varying aspirations and desires in each parish, but the common theme is local people helping to define the future vision for the areas they live in and care so much about.  That has got to be a good thing!

The table below shows just how many Neighbourhood Plans are underway (at various stages) across the nation.
