On these pages you will find out about some of things that are happening as a result of the Melbourn Village Plan.

We have now completed almost all of the collection of information needed to make draft recommendations for future action. A ‘Like it –Hate it’ survey reported in early 2010 has been followed by a village wide Questionnaire. The Questionnaire was a fantastic success  – more than half the village returned completed forms – and we have had this feedback professionally analysed.

We have also carried out a detailed survey of businesses in Melbourn and can add much information from this very interesting and critical aspect of village life to our findings.

Great efforts have been made to contact local clubs, organisation and community groups, seeking their opinions, ideas and any problems they currently encounter. A special effort has been made to include Youth and Senior Citizens in our survey, as these groups are sometimes slow to come forward with their views. A focused survey of the needs of those with a variety of physical or other impairments is currently under way.

A very important initiative is to begin harnessing the amazing number of volunteers that have come forward through offering a number of practical options where the village can benefit sooner rather than later. If you would like to join this group, see the link  – Here’s to the Volunteers in Melbourn.

Most importantly, we are about to begin consultation with you on the detailed findings and recommendations that will make up the Final Report.
