Marks Tey Parish Council decided to form a Marks Tey Parish Neighbourhood Plan to include the whole of the parish of Marks Tey and its various communities. A Neighbourhood Plan sits beneath the emerging Colchester Borough Council Local Plan and identifies, evidences and helps to plan and deliver community priorities in the locality. To effect this, Marks Tey Parish Council has formed a volunteer Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group from the commuity to investigate needs, liase with the community, and act as an advisory group to Marks Tey Parish Council on the Neighbourhood Plan. The Parish Council provids a budget for the Steering Group, which is suplemented by grants from the Government, to undertake its activities.

The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group meets at the Parish Hall approximately every two weeks and has appointed its own topic areas and groups to investigate the community needs. As part of this community questionnaires and surveys have been undertaken to seek involvement and views and this continues. Questionnaires have been delivered to all households in the parish. Additional surveys have also been undertaken at the station and with the school. These can be accessed below. Please let us know your views and you can still download a copy and complete the main questionnaire below to ensure that your views are included.
