After a break over the summer the community led plan steering committee met again on 20/11/13. Our aim for the next few months is to create the questionnaire that will be sent round the village. This questionnaire then forms the basis for the community led plan, which we aim to complete next year. We will be compiling minutes of our meetings so people can follow our progress. We are very interested in input and feedback from the Wardington parish. To see what we have been up to you can read the minutes here: 131120 Wardington CLP meeting minutes (131125).
