Neighbourhood Planning #1

Neighbourhood Planning #2

 04.06.25 - We are now working with a new consultant and new committee. This should allow us to make swift progress on our Neighbourhood Plan. Below is a copy of the initial review. 

Initial Review 

 We are meeting with the consultant for an introduction and parish walkaround on 12.06.25 and would like parishioners to submit questions for us to ask. We would ask that these questions are sent to us by email via clerk@lymingeparishcouncil.org.uk or by phoning 07999 403948. Questions should be received by noon on 11.06.25.

On 24.02.24 we held a great event at Lyminge Village Hall, this event was for looking to the future and featured the areas we will be focussing on when putting together the Neighbourhood Plan.

You can view the event materials here and the results/findings of the event here. The event findings give you a good indication at the sort of things we could implement with the Neighbourhood Plan so give it a good read and get inspired. 

If you want to get involved, you can follow this link to our shared file where you can add your name to specific tasks! If you would like to join our mailing list contact clerk@lymingeparishcouncil.org.uk
