There will be an open meeting to explore the proposed Neighbourhood Plan for Newton Poppleford at The Pavilion in Back Lane at 7.30pm on Friday, January 31.

This is a chance for residents to help to scope, develop and produce a document which will give direction to the future shape of new developments in the village – one that actually carries some weight with the planning authorities.

If you are interested in the future of Newton Poppleford, you really should attend.
