NEW Alresford Town Council is again asking for the public’s help as it prepares a neighbourhood plan which will set out the vision, objectives, and planning policies for many years to come.
The council says one of the key themes is employment and economic development. 
It asks: “If you own or run a local business or shop in the town centre, we would very much like to hear from you. 
“We would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey that asks several important questions which will help the advisory group and town council gain a better understanding.”
