THE people who make up the community within the Bude-Stratton Town Council boundary are to be given every encouragement to show how much they care about the future of the locality.

A survey has been prepared by the Bude-Stratton Neighbourhood Plan steering group for all residents and businesses to say what they want to see in the area.

Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan steering group Lea Deely said: "We have put out a survey based on the information that we gathered from four open meetings held in 2012.

"It is really important that residents take the opportunity to complete the survey so that we can prepare a plan that meets the wishes of the people."

For the full report, and a round up of the area news and sport, see this week's edition of the Post.
