A petition has been launched seeking the reinstatement/continued support of funding for community-led Neighbourhood Plans, channelled through the organisation, ‘Locality’.
The UK Government has recently announced that it is to cut funding for Neighbourhood Plans with immediate effect.
Funding through “Locality” has previously provided the Felsted Neighbourhood Plan Steering and Review Groups with critical funding, enabling the engagement of professional external support to develop and review our plans and crucially, with technical support on many issues, for example enabling us to undertake independent housing needs assessments, through the Rural Community Councils of Essex.
The loss of this previously available funding will seriously impact the ability of the Felsted Neighbourhood Plan Group to effectively represent Felsted in future planning matters.
We would be extremely grateful if you would consider signing the petition at the link below.
