At its meeting this evening, Silverstone Parish Council passed the following proposals to set in motion the formation of a Neighbourhood Plan working group to start the process of the formulation of a Neighbourhood Plan. The motions passed were:

1. That Silverstone Parish Council registers as a Neighbourhood Area with South Northamptonshire Council.

2. That Silverstone Parish Council establishes a working party comprising councillors and interested residents to report its initial progress to the 2017 annual parish meeting on April 12th with a remit to ultimately determine costs and canvass the opinion of Silverstone Residents on a Neighbourhood Plan for the area.

3. That the Finance Committee of the Parish Council meets to determine ways of meeting the non-budgeted costs of developing a Neighbourhood Plan in the 2017/18 financial year.

72 residents crowded the Chapel Rooms to listen to the debate.
