The survey needs to be completed and returned by Friday 22nd September 2023.
Survey responses can be posted at the village hall (survey box) or by scanning and emailing them to our clerk Jenny Hollington at If you wish to complete more than one survey per household, please copy the survey form and return as above or if you have not received your survey for any reason, please email Jenny Hollington at who will arrange for a survey to be sent to you.

Thank you for completing the survey, your views are important.
