MARTLESHAM NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN – UPDATE Neighbourhood Plan Survey - As you are aware the Neighbourhood Plan Survey has been taking place over the past weeks. We now have all responses returned 47% online and 53% manually. The response has been truly outstanding with a total feedback of 920 surveys, 37%. This is an excellent return for a survey of this nature. Thank you all for participating and a special thank you for the people who helped with the distribution, collection and transferring of the surveys online, you made it happen. The next stage is to look at the data received and from your input identify the issues and wishes you want to see in the plan. This part of the process will take some time while we work on the information but given the approaching Winter holidays we will endeavour to share the results with you in a Public meeting in January. Watch this space for future dates. Other news – Our discussions with Suffolk Coastal District Council on the potential Adastral development are making good progress.
