I’m sorry to have to tell you that Wiltshire Council have postponed the Referendum.
It will not now take place on the 19th March. We do not yet know how long it is postponed for . I have just spoken to the officer from Wiltshire who made the decision and he says that he will make sure that we get a date as soon as possible after it all dies down. He assures me that our plan will be given great consideration when deciding planning applications in the meanwhile because we are so near to completion.
Thank you all for your support but the decision was made in the interests of health and safety. I will write again when I know when the referendum has been rescheduled.

The final countdown – views sought
The pre-submission neighbourhood plan is now ready. The next stage is consultation – and an opportunity for you to have your say.
A copy of the consultation leaflet is available by clicking on the link above.
Mike Sharp, Chairman of the Steering Group, said “We have at last gone out to Consultation. This is a legal step we have to take on the route to getting our Plan passed by the inspector to allow us to have a referendum where you will be asked to vote on accepting the Neighbourhood Plan. After the consultation any amendments needed will be made, then it will be submitted to Wiltshire Council. If all goes well we would anticipate finalising the plan and going to referendum in March. A positive vote then means that our views have to be taken into consideration when Wiltshire Council determine planning applications.”

Comments must be in by 1st February 2019.
