Youngsters aged 11 and upwards are being given the opportunity to have their say over the future of where they live.Questionnaires are to be delivered to all households in Oulton over the next few weeks for all residents to have their say on the future of the parish.
It comes as Oulton Parish Council continues with the next stage of the process, which they started about three years ago, to pursue a neighbourhood plan.
Ahead of the questionnaires being sent out, chairman of Oulton Parish Council, Brian Hunter, said: 'The parish council has worked closely with the Oulton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group in developing this plan.
'This questionnaire will give the residents the opportunity to have their say in how they see their Parish developing over the next few years.'
Two consultation events have already been held, which have indicated some of the residents' ideas on how they see their community developing.
