The PC responded to the views of the village expressed in the Neighbourhood Plan expressing safety concerns about the traffic in the village. We employed a consultancy to examine the evidence and make proposals. Their suggestions have now been published in a report which you will here:

These are just the results of the consultants proposals and the PC now wants to know your views about them. Which areas do you think are the key priorities? What other areas do you think should have been included? Which order of priority would you put these proposals in?

You will find the results of a survey of village views here:

East Bergholt Neighbourhood Plan

In April, we told you, the East Bergholt Neighbourhood Plan Committee had been reformed to update our Plan. We also informed you Babergh District Council was working with Mid-Suffolk District Council to produce a new Joint Local Plan. In planning terms, the most up-to-date Plan is given greater weight, making it important Babergh’s Plan reflects your views as expressed in our Neighbourhood Plan.
It is now time to make your views known.
The Joint Local Plan Draft is now for consultation. See: https://www.midsuffolk.gov.uk/assets/Strategic-Planning/JLP-Reg18-2019/Council-v1-BMSDC-Joint-Local-Plan-Preferred-Options-Reg-18.pdf.
Comments need to be submitted before the end of August.
The Neighbourhood Plan Committee will be reviewing this document and feeding back their comments. Help would be most welcome. Use the contact link on the left hand side of the page. https://eastbergholt.org/clubs/parishcouncil/NeighbourhoodPlan/
Since April, the Neighbourhood Plan Committee have been busy re-visiting the housing needs, design criteria and seeking grants to cover the cost of specialist services. The Neighbourhood Plan remains an important document; enabling the East Bergholt residents to influence future village developments.
We would really like you to become involved. Come along to one of the monthly meetings and have your say. You will be made most welcome.
