The Parish Plan to be Updated 2010
Local governments are keen for parishes to produce their own plans which ultimately should be incorporated as formal documents within parish and district council planning procedures.
An initial survey of Dunkeswell residents has already been completed and following on from this a more detailed questionnaire has been produced which will hopefully provide a comprehensive picture of the present and future concerns of our community.
In order for this to happen as many residents as possible will need to complete the questionnaire and make their views known. This is the only way residents can hope to influence and be part of Dunkeswell's future.
Therefore please respond to the survey when it comes through your letter box with the June edition of the Parish Magazine. You have until 30th June to respond and if you're lucky you may even be rewarded with a cash Prize!
Remember - return your survey by 30th June for a chance to win a cash prize...
