You can have your say on the future of Stone at a Neighbourhood Plan walk-and-talk event on Saturday 12th March.
The consultation event starts at 10.30am at the Crown Wharf car park off Crown Street. There will be a short talk from a local historian on the immediate area before a walk around the town, with the chance to give your views to local councillors.
The event is part of the ongoing work to produce a Neighbourhood Plan for the town council area. Local councillors and residents from the Plan working group will be there on the day to note comments.
The Neighbourhood Plan is being produced by a steering group of town councillors and local residents, chaired by Cllr Jill Hood, with the support of neighbourhood plan specialists Urban Vision from Stoke-on-Trent.

Stone Town Council is producing a Neighbourhood Plan for Stone to guide the planning and future development of the town up to 2031. The Neighbourhood Plan will enable the local community to refine the adopted Stafford Borough Local Plan, and give local people more say in where new development goes and what kind of development is allowed.
A major consultation was carried out late last year, when local people were asked what they like and dislike about Stone, and what they would change.
