Middleton Parish Plan

More than 200 villagers came along to the Our Village, Our Future event on 29 and 30 January to find out more about the Parish Plan for Cottingham and to share their thoughts and aspirations for the future.

Listed below are all the comments from the day. If you would like to respond or add to these comments, please email jane@cottinghamnews.co.uk

Event and Parish Plan

• Thank you for the opportunity to find out more about our village and local community
• Very informative. Should have more days like this
• Very good to have the police here. Did Corby planners come? And Bob Rutt?  Response from Parish Plan Steering Group: Cllr Rutt was unable to attend. However, Corby Borough Council Chief Executive Chris Mallender attended the event on the Borough Council’s behalf
• Surprised the Church (St Mary Magdalene) wasn’t given a chance to participate in this event. Could have provided displays, detailed information etc. Response from Parish Plan Steering Group: We are sorry that you feel the Church was not given a chance to participate in the event. Whilst we perhaps missed a trick in not making proactive contact with the Church on this occasion, we would point out that everyone in the village was given the opportunity to get involved with the Parish Plan process right from the time that the open meeting was held in July last year. All subsequent village newsletters have invited people to get involved including, in the October issue, a specific request for people to get in touch if they had a local club or group that they wished to promote at the event. Several groups did get in touch, hence their presence at the event. However, we will ensure that the Church is proactively consulted as part of the Parish Plan process going forward.
