John Strange on the Power of Resident Participation in Neighbourhood Planning

The Fields Association - On Air

Ever wondered how your neighbourhood took shape? How decisions about housing, infrastructure, and amenities were made? Join us on a fascinating journey with John Strange, Vice Chairman of the Finchingfield Parish Council, as we unlock the secrets of neighbourhood planning! We lift the lid on the detailed process that shapes our local communities, from selecting the type of plan - neighbourhood or parish - to deciding on housing provisions, infrastructure, education, and businesses. Gain insights into why Finchingfield and Wethersfield opted for a joint plan and how it reflects their vision and needs.
Now, peel back another layer and step into the heart of community engagement. Picture this: it's October, you're at a 'drop-in session' and neighbours are passionately sharing their loves, loathes, and hopes for their area. Feel their fierce determination to preserve green spaces, what to do with the airfield and heritage, their commitment to maintaining local services like health centres. Your voice is just as important, and we're here to help you make it heard. So, complete those surveys we've distributed on housing and resident preferences and help protect local assets. Remember, it's not just about you, it's about your neighbourhood, your community, your future - let's shape it together!
