What is there to gain from a Neighbourhood Plan?
Is Neighbourhood Planning for us?
Should we spend time and money on it?
![Page 23: Matthew Bills, Chris Brown and Peter Elliott Neighbourhood Planning Partnerships in Harborough District](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb85503460f9497ec23/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What ‘Front Runner’ money?
We just missed out.
Officer time and support is worthwhile
