Neighbourhood Plan
Your Parish Council is exploring the development of a Neighbourhood Plan and we need civic engagement to get it off the ground. In short, we need you!

DUNHAM MASSEY NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN SURVEY
Help Shape the Future of Dunham Massey
​
We’re creating a Neighbourhood Plan to guide how Dunham Massey evolves over the coming years and we want your voice to be at the heart of it. This survey is open to everyone in Dunham Massey of any age.
​
This survey is your opportunity to share what matters most to you, the character of our village and the kind of place you want Dunham Massey to be in 2035. Whether you’re a resident, visitor, business owner, or simply someone who cares about our community, your views will help shape policies on housing, environment, transport, and local services.
Public meetings will follow to explore the results and your responses are confidential.
​
Together, we can protect what we cherish and plan for what we need.
​
