Local Plan Issues Papers consultation

/in , /by

HDC’s Issues Paper consultation is live!

How do you think Huntingdonshire should grow and change over the next 30 years? How should we respond to climate change locally? You could help to shape the next Local Plan by letting HDC know what you think the priorities should be and what the issues are locally.

From responding to the climate crisis and enhancing the natural environment to meeting housing needs for all and promoting a prosperous economy, HDC wants to know what you think the priorities are, what the issues are locally and what your concerns might be as the council develops its new Local Plan.

Have your say by 5 July at: https://consult.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/kse/
