Dear residents
Thank you so much for taking part in My Place, My Views.
We had around 1,500 people take part in the survey from across Plymouth, South Hams and West Devon, over half of which have never taken part in a conversation about the Joint Local Plan before.
So what is next?
If you have signed up for project emails, we will email you to keep you updated on future progress and consultation events for the Joint Local Plan.
Many thanks
The Joint Local Plan Team

A big thank you to all those who have taken part in My Place My Views so far, we have had over 1100 contributions from over 900 of our residents already and there are still 8 weeks of the consultation left to go! We are really pleased to hear back those who have commented on the Joint Local Plan before and thrilled to welcome over 400 residents who have not taken part in discussions previously!
Please help us spread the word about the consultation to your friends and families as the more people who take part the more we will understand about our communities. Remember everyone who takes part and opts in will have the opportunity to win up to £100 in vouchers towards treats such as meals out, entertainment and holiday experiences.
Up to the end of the consultation, we will be reflecting on some of the talking points raised from responses we have had the chance to read so far in the hope we can understand more.

Thank you for all your questions so far. We are currently collating and reviewing them and will be responding to the most asked questions within our new Q&A tile next month. Remember that if you have a question you would like us to consider including you can write it in the text box which is included on our Project Information Tile or email us at jointlocalplan@plymouth.gov.uk.

We are excited to launch My Place, My Views!
We know people's lives are quickly changing, particularly since the pandemic, so we want to make sure we understand how these changes are affecting our local communities and are reflected in our future plans.
Access our new pilot website to:
1. Take a quick survey to tell us about the area you live, let us know how you feel about the facilities, shops and services available to you!
2. Leave a pin on a map to tell us about your favourite places and the places you would like to change over the next ten years and tell us why. Remember you can come back at any time before the consultation closes to view what others have been saying and leave more comments about the places which are important to you!
We will be keeping you updated on the progress of the consultation here including insights into the comments we have had so far and information about how to find us at future events.
