VILLAGERS are progressing with a plan for the future of Sutton Courtenay.

A steering group was set up to create a neighbourhood plan for the village, detailing aims for the area and preferences for development.

It wrote an update in the village newsletter this month, stating it had been consulting on a questionnaire about the plan to be circulated to residents.

The group wrote: “Our vision is to safeguard the individual character and vitality of our historic Thames-side village whilst meeting the needs of villagers now and in the future.”

It set out draft aims including to maintain community spirit, but hopes to circulate the questionnaire in late August to consult villagers on opinions.
