The Council are putting together a list of projects and ideas that it would like to see happen. Some of these will be long term, hard to deliver aspirations for the village, others will be small scale jobs which are easy to deliver. Once we have this list, we will be able to narrow down the list to things we can realistically aim to achieve in the next 5 years.
The list has been broken down into three groups. To comment on the lists, add things to the lists and/or to identify your priorities, please click on this link: Comment here
