Ringstead residents invited to vote on local plan next week




Residents of Ringstead will be able to have their say about the proposed Neighbourhood Plan for their area next week.

Voters will be asked to say yes or no to the following question: “Do you want West Norfolk Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Ringstead to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”

Development of the Ringstead Neighbourhood Plan, led by the parish council, has gone through a rigorous process.

After being submitted to the borough council it has undergone an independent examination and the independent examiner subsequently passed it to proceed to referendum.

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 at Ringstead Village Hall, High Street, PE36 5JU, on 13 February between 7am and 10pm.

Counting will take place on Friday, February 1 and the result of the referendum is expected to be announced soon after noon.

All adults aged 18 or over on 13 February, and who are registered to vote will be eligible to vote in the referendum. Voters should remember that they need to present photo ID.

Further details of the referendum timetable, including deadlines, are available on the borough council website.
