The Pakenham Parish Plan
On 27th March 2010 the Pakenham Parish Plan Steering Group held an Open Day drop-in at the village hall where members of the parish were invited to give their views and ideas for the future of Pakenham.
A lot of thoughts were put forward whereby, for example, some members of the parish expressed a need for new housing to be built, some expressed concerns regarding parking and through-traffic, some wanted more facilities and activities, some felt Pakenham was simply great as it was and wanted no changes!, etc. etc.
The Pakenham Parish Plan Questionnaires have been prepared based on all input received and to give all members of the parish the opportunity to have their say.
If you live in the parish of Pakenham, please complete the General Questionnaire.
If you are 17 years or under, please complete the Young People's Questionnaire.
For all those running a business in the parish, whether you are self-employed operating from home, in agriculture/farming, operating from commercial offices or industrial units, views from all businesses are important to the parish, please complete the Business Questionnaire.
All questionnaires are anonymous.

A note on privacy
Our Questionnaires are anonymous.
The record kept of your questionnaire responses does not contain any identifying information about you. If you have responded to a questionnaire that used an identifying token to allow you to access the questionnaire, you can rest assured that the identifying token is not kept with your responses. It is managed in a separate database and will only be updated to indicate that you have (or haven't) completed the questionnaire. There is no way of matching identification tokens with questionnaire responses in these questionnaires.
