A big thank you to all those (over 250 of you) who visited our stand at the Packhorse Fair and told us what they liked and didn’t about living in the town. It’s going to take a while to digest all the comments that we received, but just to give a flavour some of the surprises included requests for a bypass, a municipal caravan park (like they have in France) and  a pressure wash of the entire town centre. We also had the comments we expected about dog poo, speeding, pavements and lorries. When we have finished analysing the information (probably later this month) we will publish everything that everyone said on this website.

We really need people’s views to begin to build good evidence about what needs to be done to improve the town, and this is a great start. Over the summer we will be designing a more detailed survey which will be distributed to every household in the parish in October, to make sure that everyone has their chance to have their say, with an online version for those who prefer it. We are also planning a survey of local businesses, and a separate survey for young people.

Early next year we will hold a series of public meetings to discuss what should go in our plan, which we expect to publish in June 2017.

Once again many thanks. You can find out more about the plan on the town plan page on this site.

Finally if you happen to be the person in the photo and you don’t want your photo on our site please let us know and we will take it down immediately. (It is not illegal to publish a picture of a person taken in public, but we would not want to offend anyone). Get in touch via plan@brutontowncouncil.gov.uk
