STUDLEY villagers are to have their say on how the village develops as part of the biggest public planning exercise in years.

The parish appraisal, last done 12-years ago, will form a village design statement which will be used as a planning guideline and also as a tool to find funding for projects.

A committee has been set up which is now asking all villagers to get involved and a public meeting will be held in September chaired by parish council chairman Maureen Rickhards.

The appraisal plan is set to be presented to the parish council for approval on August 20.

Anyone who would like to get involved in the project can call Studley Parish Council on 853204 or Mrs Wright on 852899
