RESIDENTS in St Cleer parish are being encouraged to fill in a survey before the end of tomorrow’s (Friday 20) deadline.

The Neighbourhood Plan is being formed and the parish council wants people’s views.

There are questions on housing, jobs, transport links, leisure, community and lifestyle.

A separate paper questionnaire asks people their opinions on possible changes at the parish church.

Drop-in sessions have been attended by around 100 people - and 370 surveys have been returned so far. At 25% of households in the parish, planning consultant Steve Besford-Foster described this as a strong response.

Mr Foster, who is helping communities across Cornwall to put their plans together, said that Neighbourhood Plans ‘did have teeth’.

‘Cornwall Council is committed to supporting the Neighbourhood Plans and to making them work as planning documents.

’It’s not just lip service.’

Children living in St Cleer and Darite have each made video clips describing what they feel is important where they live.
