Have your say on the Leighton Buzzard and Linslade of the future

What do you think should be the future of Leighton Linslade?

Town councillors are holding an early engagement event about the future of the area in the first two weeks of February, to consider a possible neighbourhood plan for the parish.

This event is a starting point for discussion about Leighton Linslade’s possible future, and how it might develop over the next 20 years.

A council spokesman said: “The public engagement events are an open opportunity to have your say about how we shape the future of our community. We need your answers to questions including: What do you value most about Leighton Linslade? What would you like to see protected, enhanced or changed? What are your views on housing, heritage, climate change and community facilities?”

The survey opens on February 1 at www.leightonlinslade-tc.gov.uk. The survey is just 18 questions but this is key information to help decide the way forward.

You can also view a static display and submit a paper feedback form in person at either the White House, Hockliffe Street or at the Leighton Buzzard Library, Lake Street during opening hours.

Town councillors will be available to speak with residents about the neighbourhood plan at three drop-in sessions held over the two weeks: Saturday, February 3 from 10am to 1pm at the library, Monday, Febuary 5 from 2.30pm to 4.30pm at The White House or Wednesday, February 7 from 6pm to 8pm at The White House. Attending a drop in session is a great way to find out more and talk about ideas and concerns.
