THE steering group for the Bramshott and Liphook Neighbourhood Plan is appealing to residents to contribute to this week’s design forum at Liphook’s Millennium Centre.

Chairman Emma Winfield (pictured) said: “By coming along it gives everyone a chance to get involved, have their voice heard, as well as an opportunity to have their ideas incorporated into the neighbourhood plan.

“Once completed, the neighbourhood plan will be put to a public referendum and once passed will be incorporated into the local planning process.

“Everybody’s voice can have a direct impact on the nature, shape and style of the parish in the future.”

The two-day design forum takes place on Wednesday, November 1, and Thursday, November 2, from 9.30am-4pm both days, in the main hall of the Millennium Centre.

The aim is to gather ideas from a wide representation of the community and to develop and shape these into a single coherent vision for the future of the parish. This can then be used as the starting point for the next phase of the neighbourhood plan.

For those who may not be able to come along to the day session there is an “open studio” from 6pm-8pm on the first evening for the community to give feedback on the culmination of the day’s work.

At the end of day two, there will be a final presentation at 7.30pm to look at the “story so far”.

To participate or for more details, call the parish council on 01428 722988 or e-mail admin@ bramshottandliphookndp.uk.
