RESIDENTS are being encouraged to support Broadway Parish Council to help design the shape of the village in years to come.

A Parish Plan is looking to consult widely within the community to answer the question what aspects of village life would you like to see improved' and to generate a prioritised plan for achieving the necessary changes.

The July edition of the Parish Newsletter has said that local councillors believe there is some merit in generating a plan for the village.

But a newsletter spokesman said: "We are convinced however that although we should support the process, we should not lead it - the whole purpose of the exercise is for the village to tell the parish council what it wants and not the other way round.

"What is needed therefore is for half a dozen committed residents to come forward to work alongside the parish council to drive the plan forward."

People wanting to get involved should contact parish clerk Gill Horner on 01460-234256 or email scribe.broadway@tiscali.co.uk
