Residents of a village on the outskirts of Preston are being urged to make use of a “powerful opportunity” to help shape the future of the place they call home.
As the Lancashire Post reported last month, Barton is staging a referendum on Thursday in which locals will be asked whether or not they back a neighbourhood development plan that the parish council has drawn up for the area. If approved, the document would introduce a raft of policies covering all aspects of the evolution of the village - from the location and quality of new housing to the preservation of local green spaces.
“Barton has had a disproportionately high ratio in comparison to the size of the village and the infrastructure that supports it. “But if we don’t do anything as a parish council, we can't complain about things that might happen , either at a local or central government level. We have to try and change the narrative In the parish’s favour. “So if you want to have a voice for where you live, you need to exercise that right , Cllr Parker said.
