The special meeting of the Group on the proposed Ferring Neighbourhood Plan which took place on 20th October at the Village Hall was a success with over 100 local people attending. There were many questions and points from the audience which were ably answered by the panel of Carole Robertson, Ed Miller and Paul Webster. It is accepted that there are areas of the plan which have caused some controversy, but generally Ferring Conservation Group supports the plan as the best way forward for the village. The plan will be decided by a village wide referendum to be held on Wednesday 10th December, and the group encourages you to use your vote.

In the meantime, if you need more information about it prior to referendum day, there will be a “Drop In” day at the Glebelands Centre on Saturday 29th November, where you can speak to local Parish Councillors direct. An information leaflet will also be delivered to all Ferring households around the same time.

The Group fully supports the implementation of the Plan, which will be going to a public referendum across the Village on December 10th. To help residents of the Village become better informed about its proposals, the Group will be holding a Public Meeting at Ferring Village Hall on Monday October 20th starting at 7.30pm. Speakers at the meeting are Carole Robertson (Ferring Parish Council), Ed Miller (Ferring Conservation Group) and Paul Webster.

Come along to hear the facts of the Plan and have an opportunity to ask questions of the panel. The meeting is being organised by the Conservation Group but is open to all.
