  1. Apologies Merry Wadlow,Nigel Wadlow, Craig Orris
  1. Questionnaire

Roger Charlesworth had written a statement for the cover, which tried to state the case without leadinganyone, but would encourage people to fill in the questionnaire. Alan Youel had devised an objective initial statement, which could be refined by the next meeting. Tom Rice commented that “the objective of the Neighbourhood Plan was to represent the views of the village to the planners”. A discussion on how to proceed resulted in an agreement that the questionnaire needed to be more robust to produce responses. That there was a need to put the right questions in a format that would encourage people to fill it in and that the questionnaire should be held back until the group were happy with it. Survey Monkey could not be used to collate the questionnaire as anything more than 10 questions would have to be paid for. The process should start again at the Village Fete stand on 2 June.
