Summary of survey findings

The Parish Plan survey is now completed. Three main themes emerged:

We’ve now collected over 70 parish surveys. A very big thank you to everyone who has filled in a survey and to those who helped distribute and collect them. The completed surveys have just been taken to SODC who are going to analyse the forms and produce a report summarising peoples’ views. We will then use this and the results of previous meetings to start drafting the plan.

Oh! If you have yet to fill in a survey, there is still time for your views to be included. Give the completed form to your collector or contact Nick King on 873721.
