MANY Crediton residents in the last week or so, will have seen a leaflet about Crediton Town Council’s Household Survey drop through their letterboxes.

The Survey is an invitation to every resident in Crediton to give their views about the town and its future.

Crediton Mayor, Cllr Steve Huxtable, said: “The last household survey was in 2015 – more than a decade ago.

“It helped us to create a Neighbourhood Plan for Crediton.

“A lot has changed since then. Crediton has seen more housing and commercial development, and an increase in the number of trains and daily road traffic.

“Now we’re thinking about the next 30 years. How do we want our town to develop?

“Have we got the right kind of housing? Have we got the right infrastructure? We need to know what people think.

“Residents’ views will be used to guide the Town Council in making decisions on services and assets over the next few years.

“The survey will also help us to update the Crediton Neighbourhood Plan and to inform our responses to Mid Devon District Council’s local plan, Plan Mid Devon.”

Town councillors are delivering leaflets that explain how to take part in the survey.

There is a QR code for residents aged 17+ to give their responses online.

Residents who prefer to fill in a paper copy can email the Town Council to request a copy at: [email protected] or call 01363 773717.

A printed copy will then be delivered and collected when completed.

The survey will continue until 23.59pm on Sunday, November 29.

Steve added: “It takes about 15 minutes to complete, so we hope that everyone will take a break and give a bit of time to answer the questions.

“Your views really do count and we want to hear from as many people as possible.”
