📃 Community Governance Review – Second Stage Consultation Now Open

North Somerset Council has now opened the second stage of the Community Governance Review.

The draft recommendation, based on the public consultation results from the first stage of the review, is that The Elms and the undeveloped land to the north should remain within Wraxall & Failand Parish.

This recommendation, achieved following the enormous effort made by parishioners in making their voices heard and ensuring the existing Parish boundary is retained, is now out for public consultation as part of the second stage of the review.

It is your opportunity to reaffirm the wishes already expressed in the first consultation: that The Elms and the land north of Nailsea should remain part of Wraxall and Failand Parish.

North Somerset Council has stressed that this stage is particularly critical.

The final decision will depend on the strength of local responses and the Parish Council cannot emphasise enough how vital it is for every resident to take part once again.

Every submission will be carefully considered by the Planning & Regulatory Committee before final recommendations are made. A high number of supportive responses is essential to retaining our parish boundaries.
