As a community, we now need to work on developing and defining the policy areas on which to focus our plan. We held a public workshop on the 3rd November 2022 whereby we invited the residents in the parishes of Bradford Abbas and Clifton Maybank to express what we wanted to include within the plan. This was broken down into six common policy areas for neighbourhood plans, which included an "Other" section to capture thoughts outside of the five policy areas.
