Surveys To Be Returned

Residents of the parish of Helmdon have been reminded that their surveys for the Parish plans are due to be collected this weekend.

The questionnaires were given out two weeks ago for people living in Helmdon and its surrounding villages to share their thoughts on the facilities available to them.

Already the questionnaires have received an excellent response from residents, with a few handed in during the first few days of the exercise.

With questions such as ‘do you use the bus service’, ‘should there be more houses in the village’ and ‘what do you think of the atmosphere in the village’ there are no wrong answers and everyone is encouraged to share their opinions.

The results will be analysed over the coming weeks and reported back in the summer as part of the completed parish plan.

The surveys follow on from the success of the Future Needs Day held at Helmdon Primary School last Summer as part of the government’s Vital Villages programme for which Helmdon was awarded £4,000 last year.
