Surveys in the spotlight

Surveys completed by residents in Helmdon and the surrounding villages have been used to compile a database of information on the wants and needs of people in the area and will be presented to the steering group next week.

The information gathered has been examined by organizers of the survey and will now be put to the steering group next Wednesday, April 21, where members will discuss ideas arising from the responses.

Helmdon parish plan chairman Danny Moody was thrilled with the response to the surveys and is looking forward to pushing on with forming the plan itself.

He said:" I'm sure very good things are going to come from the surveys, we just don't know what yet. "It was a very successful exercise, we have started to analyse it and look at it, now we've just got to say what we are gong to do with it."

The meeting will see members of the steering group throw suggestions around the table as they look at ways of approaching the various comments made on the surveys, and the suggestions cold later be used to help form the final draft of the parish plan.
