Freckleton Parish Plan
In the very near future local households will find a questionaire has been dropped through their letter box. Whilst it is easy to have a cynical attitude towards this type of thing, the Parish Council seem to be trying very hard to get it right. I think that its important to support them by completing the form. It may all come to nothing, but now is the time for us to have our say. If we don't, then we can't go back to them later saying 'You never listen to us'. You can learn more about the Parish Plan on their website
