1 Neighbourhood Plan Meeting with Governors Kislingbury Primary School December 4 2014 2 Why do we need a Neighbourhood Plan? Because Developers are Predatory and will take Opportunities wherever they can. A Neighbourhood Plan is a Defence against Developers. • To show that we want to have a say over what happens to our Parish • To develop a Vision, and Plan of how to realise it, for Kislingbury over the next 15 years • To Involve all The Residents, Young and Old, At School, or Working, or Retired, in the process of creating that Vision • To make Kislingbury a better place to live • To Protect Kislingbury from being swallowed up by Northampton • To help Villagers and their Families to remain living in Kislingbury A Neighbourhood Plan shows Developers and SNC that we know what we want for Kislingbury 3 What is A Neighbourhood Plan?
