Along with hundreds of like villages, Longworth is joining in the currently popular national project of making a Neighbourhood Plan. These plans are intended to embrace not simply housing, but virtually any improvement a community feels it needs – and can by majority voting agree on it. An initial well-attended village meeting in January produced enough volunteers for a steering group of an appropriate size and composition; an extended and no doubt tortuous process of information gathering, analysis, report drafting, polling and public inspection has now been set in motion. Our first task will be to arrive at a consensus of residents’ views on what the village should look like in five, ten, or even twenty years’ time. We can then, it is hoped, plan towards this end. To get involved, please contact Alan Boyce.
