Steeple Bumpstead Neighbourhood Plan

​

The Steeple Bumpstead Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group has spent some time drawing up a Neighbourhood Plan which will help decide the future of the village between now and 2033. This has now been out for public consultation twice, and examined and now approved by an independent Examiner, and the final version is now going out to be voted on by the village residents, in a Referendum organised by Braintree District Council (BDC).

 

The Referendum will take place on Thursday 3rd April 2025, with voting at the Polling Station in the Village Hall as with normal elections.
