1. First conversation
A series of meetings have been held and initial Steering Group has been set up. You can see the members of the steering group here.
To help us a Consultancy Group were commissioned who are O’Neill Homer. An analysis of the Plan Area was undertaken for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threates (SWOT)
The A259 issues, lack of infrastructure were quickly identified and from there 3 possible Futures were identified.
