🚗 Transport and traffic?
🏡 Housing developments?
🌳 Local amenities and green spaces?
💡 The future of our town?

We want to hear from YOU! 🫵

The Beaminster Neighbourhood Plan Working Group has been developing ideas based on your feedback from our recent survey - and we’re now working towards a draft plan that will go out for public consultation in December.

You can find out more about the Neighbourhood Plan on the Discover Beaminster website via the attached link, where we’ll be sharing updates, results from the survey and ways you can get involved.

The Neighbourhood Plan will be based on the Vision for Beaminster, and to achieve this we have set objectives for the plan which are listed on the website - let us hear your views 🧏🏻

We’re especially keen to hear from residents aged 18–50, who were under-represented in the initial survey - your views matter!

Share your thoughts in the comments below ⬇️ or come and see us at the Public Hall on 28th November (more info to follow).
