TWYFORD and Finchampstead residents have until later this month to share their views on draft neighbourhood plans which could shape the future of the parishes.
Wokingham Borough Council is consulting on these proposals, which the parish councils have prepared with the help of their communities.
If adopted, the plans will sit alongside the borough council’s own policies to guide planning decisions.
Before adoption, they will be independently examined and then, if agreed by the examiner, put to a referendum.
Cllr Lindsay Ferris, executive member for planning and local plan, said: “The parish councils have worked very hard alongside their communities over several years to prepare their plans.
“Comments on these plans are important to us as they will show whether the community agrees with the proposals.
“All comments received will be shared with an independent examiner who will scrutinise each plan and supporting evidence, and come to a view on whether it meets nationally prescribed requirements and can then proceed to referendum.”
Comments can be made until 5pm on Wednesday, November 23.
