Have your say on future of Wimborne Minster town

The Neighbourhood Plan Vision and Aims Survey has been launched, and local people have until 7 January to put forward their views.

Wimborne Minster residents have until 7 January to have their say on proposals for the future of the area.

Wimborne Minster Town Council is inviting residents, businesses, and community groups to take part in a new Neighbourhood Plan Vision and Aims Survey.

The Neighbourhood Plan will set out a community led framework for how Wimborne Minster should evolve over the next 10 to 15 years. It will guide future development, protect the town’s character, and identify priorities for housing, green spaces, transport, infrastructure, and the local economy.

The Vision and Aims Survey marks an important early stage in the plan-making process. Responses will help the town council understand what matters most to the community and ensure the emerging plan reflects local aspirations.

Cllr Simon Wheeler, chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, said: “This is a vital opportunity for residents to influence the long-term future of Wimborne Minster. Every voice matters, and we encourage everyone to take a few minutes to share their views.”

The survey is available online via the town council website, and paper copies can be collected from the Town Hall and other local venues.
