Residents of North Wootton will be able to have their say about the proposed Neighbourhood Plan for their area on 14 November.
Voters will be asked to say yes or no to the following question:
‘Do you want the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk to use the Neighbourhood Plan for North Wootton to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?’
Development of the North Wootton Neighbourhood Plan, led by North Wootton parish council, has gone through a rigorous process. After being submitted to the borough council it has undergone an independent examination. Earlier this year, the independent examiner passed it to proceed to referendum.
The referendum is the final stage of the plan-making process, which will allow the Neighbourhood Plan to be adopted, if supported by a majority (more than 50%) of voters in the referendum.
Voting in the referendum will take place on Thursday, 14 November, between 7:00am and 10:00pm.
The Polling Station address is: North Wootton Village Hall, 46 Priory Lane, PE30 3PT.
Counting will take place on Friday, 15 November, and the result of the referendum is expected to be announced soon after noon.
All adults aged 18 or over on 14 November, and who are registered to vote will be eligible to vote in the referendum. Voters should remember that they need to present photo ID.
Further details of the referendum timetable, including deadlines, are available on the borough council website: https://www.west-norfolk.gov.uk/upcomingelections
