North Wootton residents invited to vote in neighbourhood plan

North Wootton residents are being invited to have their say on the proposed neighbourhood plan next month.

Development of the North Wootton Neighbourhood Plan, led by the village’s parish council, has gone through a rigorous process.

After being submitted to the borough council it has undergone an independent examination. Earlier this year, the independent examiner passed it to proceed to referendum.

Voters will be asked to say yes or no to the following question: “Do you want the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk to use the Neighbourhood Plan for North Wootton to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”

The referendum is the final stage of the plan-making process, which will allow the Neighbourhood Plan to be adopted, if supported by a majority (more than 50%) of voters in the referendum.

Voting in the referendum will take place on Thursday, November 14, between 7am and 10pm.

The Polling Station address is: North Wootton Village Hall, 46 Priory Lane, PE30 3PT.

Counting will take place on Friday, November 15, and the result of the referendum is expected to be announced in the afternoon.

All adults aged 18 or over on November 14 and who are registered to vote will be eligible to vote in the referendum. Voters should remember that they need to present photo ID.
