Purton Parish Council is asking its residents to complete and return a 10-minute Housing Needs Survey, to help to make sure that any future homes built in the village meets local needs.

The 10-minute survey, will be delivered on paper to every home in the Parish by Monday 19th February and must be returned by Sunday 31st  March, giving everyone six weeks to complete and return it.

Residents are actively encouraged to complete this survey online via Survey Monkey, which can be quickly accessed using a QR code or the web address provided in the letter delivered to their homes. Doing so will mean that they can skip questions which are not relevant to them, more easily and will also help to reduce costs of the survey to the Parish Council.

For those who do not find completing surveys accessible online, they are most welcome to complete and return paper surveys.

All data from the survey will be anonymous and will inform into the ‘Purton Neighbourhood Plan Revision’, a document which will become legally recognised and obligatory for Wiltshire Council to consult, when deciding on new planning applications.

Chairman of the Council, Neil Hooper said:

“Residents who take the time to complete this survey, will best help the Parish steer future development, towards needs of our community, so I would actively encourage everyone to make the time to complete and return their survey.”

Everyone in the village will have a number of opportunities to give their feedback on the Neighbourhood Plan Revision through public consultations held in the village, this year.

Keep up to date on the Neighbourhood Plan Revision by following us on social media, in the Purton Magazine and on our website.
