Neighbourhood Plan - latest
Keyworth Parish Council has submitted its draft Neighbourhood Plan to Rushcliffe Borough Council. The Keyworth Neighbourhood Plan contains local objectives and planning policies which the Borough Council will use when considering planning applications within the parish. The Borough Council is now required to publicise the draft plan for six weeks and invite representations to be made during this period. The consultation will run from Tuesday, 5 September 2017 until 5pm on Tuesday 14 October 2017. Further details relating to the consultation can be found at: http://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/planningpolicy/neighbourhoodplanning/. Following the consultation, the draft plan and all representations received will then be considered by an independent examiner. This has to happen before the plan can be approved.
Activity Park - parts fenced off due to vandalism
Due to continued vandalism, we have been forced to fence off part of the activity park for safety reasons. It will remain closed until repairs are carried out. These repairs, due to mindless vandalism, will have cost implications for the Parish Council.
