Referendum Tomorrow

Have your say on the future of Wraxall & Failand.

The Neighbourhood Plan referendum will be held tomorrow.  You can vote at the Cross Tree Center in Wraxall and at the Failand Village Hall between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm.

The vision and objectives of the Neighbourhood Plan are as follows:

“Wraxall and Failand will continue to seek protection and enhancement of the area’s rural character, maintaining and improving access to the Green Belt to promote healthy lifestyles, and bringing the community together through the provision and improvement of local services and engagement with local residents. By 2039, the Parish will have built upon its existing distinctiveness to deliver the type of places that allow people of all backgrounds to live, play and work peacefully in the Parish.”

In order to deliver the long-term vision above for the Neighbourhood Plan Area, the following over-arching objectives have been identified for the Neighbourhood Plan:

1. To protect and enhance the Green Belt.

2. Retain and enhance important local facilities and green spaces.

3. In circumstances where growth is identified, phase and where possible fund adequate strategic and local infrastructure.

4. Encourage high quality and locally distinctive design which blends with the local vernacular rather than competing.

5. Support the expansion and diversification of existing and new local businesses and homes for local people and small-scale renewable projects.
