Neighbourhood Plan Questionnaire


Dear all

The Wing Neighbourhood Plan questionnaire will be distributed in the next few days by one of your neighbours. They will try to see you in person but if you are not at home on a couple of occasions they will post it through the door. We have questionnaires for all adults living in the parish of Wing and also one for 17-year-olds and under there is no minimum age.

Wing really needs your views so I hope you can find the time to fill it in and encourage the youngsters in the house also to do so.

The completed questionnaires can either be collected by your distributor or posted into boxes in the church porch or village hall. There will be a few extra copies in the village hall if you need more.

Many thanks

Nicky Lyttelton – Chair of the Wing parish neighbourhood plan group
