Cheshire is nearing the end of a period of public engagement on the Local Development Framework, called the 'Place Shaping' consultation.
There's still time to 'have your say' though and help shape the future of Knutsford by completing a questionnaire by the deadline of September 30th.
The Council's spatial planning team has been working with the people of Cheshire East since July – to find out how people think our towns and villages should look in the future.
This process included a series of public engagement exhibitions and events across the Borough, which aimed to get people's views on issues such as identifying sites for housing, employment development, shops, cycle routes, recreation facilities and protection of open spaces.
The consultation exhibitions have now come to an end – but there are still a few days left for people to tell the Council how they would like to see their town take shape in the future by completing the questionnaire, which can be done online.
Councillor David Brown, Cabinet member with responsibility for performance and capacity said: "The deadline is fast approaching, but there is still time for people to have their say on shaping the future of their communities.
"I would encourage all residents, and particularly younger people, to take the time to get involved and fill in the Place Shaping questionnaire.
"It is vitally important that we have as much input from local people as possible as the final plan will determine development in Cheshire East over the next 20 years."
In addition to completing the questionnaire on the Cheshire East website you can also pick up a copy at the library.
The next stage of the process will look at the options for the plan for each town and village. From this, a strategy for each place will be produced and the proposals will be incorporated into the Local Development Framework Core Strategy and Site Allocations documents.
