It is vital that you know what is going to happen in your Town. It is equally important that you have a say about what you would like to see in your Town.

Newhaven Town Council is developing a 'wish list' that details the services and facilities that people want to see in Newhaven. Your views really count with this work and the following questions seek to find out what is important to you and what you would like to see in a Newhaven that is looking to the future.


How do I respond?
