Referendum Thursday 30th November 2017 On 30th November, all Arlesey residents will be asked to vote in a referendum as to whether to accept or reject the Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan. Please do not confuse this with the Arlesey Cross Masterplan or the Draft Local Plan for Central Bedfordshire, this plan is based directly on feedback from residents. THIS WILL AFFECT YOU! Why does it matter? At the heart of the Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan is a collection of policies covering aspects such as house design, protection of the green spaces and the improvement of village facilities. These policies have been drawn up based on feedback from residents through surveys and consultation events over the past three years. A positive vote means that all developers MUST take account of these policies when applying for planning permission within the Arlesey parish. A negative vote means that planning policy for Arlesey will remain entirely within the hands of Central Bedfordshire Council and central government. You can read the Neighbourhood Plan on the Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan website using the following short URL http://bit.ly/2yvUyMn. A limited number of printed copies are also available at the Arlesey Town Council offices. www.arleseynp.org.uk [email protected] MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT! on the button issue 63 November 2017 | 01462 834265 | The Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan is a community project supported by Arlesey Town Council [email protected] | www.on-the-button.co.uk
