All submissions received before the deadline will be published on our website on 30 October 2023.  Comments will then be invited on the proposals put forward during the first stage of the review and these comments must be received by 13 November 2023.

 

To clarify, responses from the Town Council will be published but it will be under Town Clerk, and the name of the Town Council or under the name of the councillor making the comments if they respond separately from the Council as a Councillor. If those responding live in the area being consulted on, they and the councillors are obviously entitled to also respond as local residents, in which case the name will appear as ‘Resident, **** Parish / Ward’.
