Community Led Plan Questionnaire – Deadline Extended!
We are pleased to confirm that we will be extending the deadline for the community led plan questionnaire, giving you until 31st August 2026 to have your say on what is important to you! This extension ensures every household has ample time to participate and shape the priorities that will guide local decision-making for years to come.
If you have completed a paper questionnaire please return it as soon as possible, to one of the team members or the shop.
Why is a Community Led Plan important?
Future development in Hadnall is highly likely. Before home builders submit planning applications to Shropshire Council, they are encouraged to consult the Place Plan for the local area. This document lists priorities submitted by the Parish Council — priorities shaped directly by community feedback through tools such as the Community Led Plan.
Keeping these priorities up to date is our best chance of ensuring Hadnall receives the support, services, and improvements the community feels are most important. It also helps guide the Parish Council in how best to allocate funds.
In short: the Community Led Plan is your opportunity to influence what Hadnall needs, wants, and protects.
But, will they listen?
Yes! History shows that they will! When the last Community Led Plan was completed in 2017, a number of priorities were listed from road safety to young peoples facilities, parking to open spaces and as a direct result these massive improvements followed:
- Vehicle activated speed signs,
- Pedestrian Crossing,
- Improved parking at the Bowling Club,
- Footpaths on the Moat,
- Church Lane resurfacing,
- Improved street lighting,
- Supporting preservation of village,
- Engagement with the police and free SmartWater kits,
- Flooding improvements thanks to the culvert,
- Broadband improvements,
- Improvements to the Chapel Road Children’s play area.
How long will it take?
The main survey takes around 30 minutes, so grab a brew, pop your thinking cap on and let’s make a difference!
How do I complete the survey?
- Scan the QR code below, or,
- Visit Hadnall Parish Council’s website – Navigate to ‘CLP’ on the top banner and follow the link, or,
- Pick up a paper copy in the Post Office,
- Or, email Cllr Stephen Downing on stephen.downing@hadnallcouncil.co.uk and the team will arrange to get one to you.
What happens next?
Once the survey closes at the end of August, all responses will be analysed. A draft Community Led Plan will then be shared with residents for review before being formally adopted by the Parish Council and submitted to Shropshire Council.
A message from the Parish Council “We want every voice in Hadnall to be heard. Whether you’ve lived here for six months or sixty years, your views matter. This is your chance to help shape the future of our village.”
