DURRINGTON TOWN COUNCIL PARISH PLAN QUESTIONNAIRE
A COMMUNITY THAT CARES
Durrington Town Council listened to what residents wanted in 2006 when it produced the 10 year Parish Plan and a lot has been achieved over the years as a result. It's now time to review the Plan for the next 10 years. A committee of councillors and residents has been set up and an initial consultation period took place in November through our 'Wishing Trees' that targeted all ages of the community in gaining their comments about Durrington and Larkhill.
The committee has considered those comments and developed this questionnaire which has been delivered to households in Durrington and Larkhill.
Your views are really important in shaping the future of the community, so we are asking you to take the time to complete it, we can then determine what the priorities are for the next 10 years and produce an updated Parish Plan.
The questionnaire has been designed to be completed as a household and should only take 5 minutes of your time, there is also the option of completing it online at www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/DurringtonParishPlan
Completed questionnaires should be dropped at the following locations by February 29th 2016:
Town Council Office (next to the Village Hall)
The Library
Durrington Junior School
Thank you for your support.
