Update from the Great Massingham NDP

November 2021

A month ago our application to an organisation called ‘Locality’ for funds to cover our costs for the next few months was accepted in principle. The formalities needed to ensure payment have now gone through and we have been given the level of support asked for. The grant will run until the end of March 2022. Amongst other things, this funding will allow us to make a parish-wide survey of issues that will inform the preparation of our Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP). This will be needed because the principal responsibility of the Parish Council and its Steering Group is to ensure that the NDP reflects the hopes and concerns currently held by residents and other interested parties concerning the future of Great Massingham.

Our intention is to distribute the survey this coming February. The survey form will include some explanatory text and finish with several short questions for you to respond to. Paper copies of the survey form will be distributed with the February 2022 issue of The Mallard. We also intend to make the survey available online and link this to our planned Facebook page, to the Parish Council’s website and to the village website. WHEN THE TIME COMES, PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY! A strong response will help make sure the NDP is highly representative. We can only reflect your views if you tell us what they are!
