Purbeck District Council met on 13th June 2017 and resolved to make (adopt) the Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan. Therefore, in accordance with the relevant regulations, the Lytchett Matravers Neighbourhood Plan is ‘made’ and shall form part of the Development Plan for the district of Purbeck.
More information can be found on the PDC website and you can view the official decision here.
The walk to school bus is up and running and the plan is to improve and shorten the route for the children.
Aspirations for these improvements can be found in the Neighbourhood Plan in Strategic Village Improvement 13:
Lytchett Matravers Parish Council will work to establish a pedestrian “safe route to school” for children attending Lytchett Matravers School and the Play School. This will run from the north of the village, through the village centre by the library, across the Recreation Ground into Eldons Drove and from there via the Dorset County Council track into the corner of the school playing field.
The Plan team have been pleased to meet those who have come along to our sessions in the library to talk about the Neighbourhood Plan.
We had several visitors on Monday and it feels like the interest is picking up – so come and join the rush and meet a member of the Plan team at the library. It’s a chance for you to ask questions and find out more about the Neighbourhood Plan.
Don’t forget the consultation ends in just over two weeks but we still have some open sessions in the library before then (next one is on Saturday):
| Saturday July 4th | 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. |
| Tuesday July 7th | 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. |
| Friday July 10th | 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. |
| Tuesday July 14th | 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. |
| Thursday July 16th | 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. |
