The Committee noted an update in relation to the progress of Neighbourhood Plans in the Borough.
There was concern that, having been in a good position, the Greasley Neighbourhood Plan had fallen behind. It was noted that assistance had been offered to those working on the Plan. The Trwoll Parish Plan was discussed. Debate progressed on to the high levels of work associated with Neighbourhood Plans and the massive undertaking they presented for any community authoring one.
Consideration was given to the halting of the Eastwood and Kimberley Neighbourhood Plans in light of the potential investment from the Levelling up Fund, as this would make any plan obsolete.
