The first step in the Consultation process was to hold an event for Barrowden and Wakerley residents on the 30^th September 2015 & 3^rd October 2015. This event was announced using a leaflet (Invitation to residents) to every household and a follow up invite using the village email.

Nine topics were discussed with residents over the two sessions

What is a Neighbourhood Plan	Land Use and Development
Conservation and Character	Recreation
Rural Economy	Health and Welfare
Community Assets	Utilities
Green Spaces	Roads and Transport

Residents provided their comments by writing them on Post-It notes copies of which can be found at http://postit.bandwneighbourhoodplan.org.uk/index.html

After the sessions the resident’s responses  were reviewed and ones which were appropriate to a Neighbourhood Plan were included in an Outcomes Document click here

Other issues relating to Community Aspirations were advised to the Barrowden Parish Council for their consideration and further action as appropriate.
