COLTON
PARISH COUNCIL
PARISH
PLAN UPDATE - Spring 2008
The original Parish Plan was published
in 2003, and updated in 2007. In March 2008, we asked for your views using a
questionnaire included with the Colton Parish Council Newsletter (Winter 07/08).
The results were analysed by the Parish
Plan Steering Group (see below) and the new table of issues and actions for
the Parish Council will be published here shortly. The following table shows the
issues that emerged from the questionnaire results, in priority order.
