Residents have less than two weeks to comment on the draft neighbourhood plan, before it is too late.

This is the last chance for people to have their say on how the Sid Valley should be developed over the next 15 years.

When the latest consultation finishes on April 12, no further comments will be taken into account.

Almost two years have passed since the Sid Valley Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group announced the draft plan would be published on February 28, 2018.

Deirdre Hounsom, the steering group’s chair, said: “This is an important time for the Sid Valley community and brings to a close the largest ever public consultation.

“Our consultations have been extensive, involving all households in our designated area, businesses, special interest groups and young people with the support of our schools.”
