Prior to and during the consultation period the Parish Council will be active in helping residents understand any issues.  It is probable that a public meeting will be called to enable residents and councillors to share their views.  It is important that as many residents as possible return their individual opinions in addition to any submission made by the Parish Council.  Colchester City Council has allocated 25 houses for Peldon in their preferred options but none in any of the other villages in this parish council.
