Through your columns I should like to thank all those who came to the Newent Neighbourhood Development Plan’s first public consultation on Saturday at the Memorial Hall.

Around 200 people attended and filled in our questionnaire which is still available at the library, the town council office and Gooch Sports for those who were unable to attend.  

This plan is led by the community and we would like to offer as many local people as possible the chance to have their say about the future of our area. – Cllr Gill Moseley, Chair, Newent Neighbourhood Development Plan.
