THE deadline to complete the Neighbourhood Plan survey has been extended to allow more time for residents to have a say in the future of Knutsford.

Residents now have until October 23 to get their comments into Knutsford Town Council.

Tatton MP George Osborne joined Knutsford Town Councillors and members of the Town Plan Steering Committee to encourage residents to complete the survey.

“We wanted to ensure everyone had the opportunity to have a say in the future of Knutsford and have extended the deadline to help ensure we can reach more residents” said Town Clerk, Adam Keppel-Garner.

The questionnaire, which was delivered to every household in Knutsford, will help inform the first stages of creating the Neighbourhood Plan which will shape development in Knutsford alongside the Local Plan.

Mr Osborne, said: “Knutsford Town Council is working hard to ensure that local people have a say in the future of their town and I am pleased to back this crucial consultation.”
