Planning Committee Agenda - WEDNESDAY 18th June 2025
Backwell is Growing. Backwell is Changing. Have Your Say About Our Future! Backwell Parish Council is inviting residents of all ages to a Community Engagement Drop-In Event on Wednesday 19th June, 2.00pm–7.30pm at Backwell Parish Hall. With significant development expected in the coming years, it’s time to update our Neighbourhood Plan – and we need your input. What matters most to you about Backwell’s future? What do you value? What does our village need as it grows? Let’s work together to ensure our village remains a great place to live as it grows. Drop in, share your views, bring the family — everyone’s voice counts! There will also be a survey, both online and paper versions, for anyone who cannot attend. We will share further details about this soon.
