Our planning consultant has confirmed to us this week that the response to the Under 18's Survey is unprecedented in the country and that our young people are leading the way in engaging with the local plan questionnaire. The response rate currently is over 52% and rising on a daily basis.
However, the adults are lagging behind and we would like to see them engage in the process and also become the countries leaders in engaging with the Neighbourhood plan. We don't want our children to be the leaders in the country and then for the adults to let them down.
They only way of getting a neighbourhood plan that the people want locally is to engage in the process. Nothing is a done deal and the neighbourhood plan can be different to the local plan, if the community want it, so lets get them engaging in the process.
Residents Survey
Please Note: This is a household survey so only one can be completed per household.

Come on Formby, lets show the country how it is done and lead the way in planning!
Original Post in September....
Formby Parish Council is working on the Neighbourhood Plan for Formby. It is urging all residents to let them know what you want in the plan and has published three online questionnaires in order to gain as much feedback as possible. They are very easy to access and to answer. They are for residents in general, the business community and young people.
The resident questionnaire is just a snapshot questionnaire and takes about 1 min to complete and we have been advised to do this by the planning consultations in order to engage with the community quickly and get their responses.
We also have an under 18s questionnaire and a business questionnaire which are more in depth and we want people to fill them in on line.
Speaking to our new consultants it has become apparent that what the community want is very important with the inspector and that we can have a different plan for Formby than that of the Local Plan, it is all down to the localisim act and what the community want.
It is important that we gain an insight from all areas to include residents, under 18s and businesses.
Everyone who lives in Formby or goes to school or have a business in Formby can complete them. The bigger the response the more we can do. Your views DO COUNT at a local level for the Neighbourhood Plan but, we cannot help if you don't take the time to TELL US. This is your chance.
There will be a more in depth survey for the residents in the next couple of weeks.
