Following on from the launch at the September Forum meeting, the Town Council are now looking for volunteers to run and be part of a Neighbourhood Plan development group.  If enough volunteers come forward it is hoped that the Town will be able to complete a Plan allowing residents a significant opportunity to influence the way in which development takes place in Halesworth.

The group will require volunteers with all kinds of skills from design to law, from IT to local knowledge.  Volunteers will need to be committed and work well as team with the best for Halesworth as their goal.
