Community Involvement

The revision of the NDP was discussed at the Annual Parish Meetings in April 2022, March 2023, and April 2024. Invited speakers included Councillors and officers from Harborough District Council as well as from other stakeholders such as Scraptoft Golf Club. At each of these events members of the NPWP were available to discuss progress with residents, and note any points raised by them.

In the Autumn of 2022, the NPWP prepared a Community Questionnaire (CQ) which was delivered to every household in the parish. Recognising that the future will be in the hands of current younger residents a separate questionnaire (YPQ) was also produced. The links to the two questionnaires contain an analysis of the results.

Personal collection of the questionnaires resulted in a pleasing response rate for the CQ of 65%, with 793 copies being delivered and 513 returned. Residents' responses quoted in the NDP and VDG&C are referenced by CQ or YPQ question number (e.g. (CQ#Q20).
