Neighbourhood Plan Public Meeting 13th October at 7.30pm (Click for Agenda)
New houses will be built in our villages in the future. A Neighbourhood Plan gives us, the residents, a voice to say where we would like them to be built, the type and number of houses and their style.
Chappel and Wakes Colne Parish Councils have the opportunity, with community involvement, to create and submit a Neighbourhood Plan for our villages. This is not something produced quickly - it may take 2-3 years to complete - but, if adopted, will have force to ensure Colchester Borough Council must take the Plan into account.
Members of WCPC and two volunteers, David Green and Hugh Fisher, undertook clearance at the beginning of Footpath 13 from Spring Gardens Road and along Whistle Walk on August 16th. Please join us on Monday 20th September 10.30 near Willow Cottage, where Bures Rd crosses between Footpath 12 and 11. (Click for photo).
