We hope by now you have heard of the Neighbourhood Plan for the parishes of Botesdale, Rickinghall Inferior and Rickinghall Superior, which was launched earlier this year. The Neighbourhood Plan is being drawn up by residents working with your parish councillors. Once adopted, the Plan will help to guide any future development in the Parishes, as well as helping us protect what we like about the community, so we want everyone to have input into this important document.
