As part of our ongoing commitment to improving both the council and the village, we have prepared a short questionnaire which we would invite you to complete.

The responses will allow us to plan ahead for 2025 and beyond. Also included, is a request for permission to hold personal information in order to comply with data protection

and GDPR requirements as defined by the government.  Questionnaires will be distributed to all households in the East Kal Parish over the next 7 days. If you do not receive a form, please

contact the Clerk (Pauline Murray) either by emailing clerk@eastkealparishcouncil.gov.uk or calling on 07859 901835.

Completed forms can be returned via email at clerk@eastkealparishcouncil.gov.uk, by posting into any councillor’s post-box, or at the Village Shop where there is a dedicated box for collections.

Responses to questionnaires will be collated and discussed at future meetings of the council.

We thank you all for your continued support and look forward to receiving your responses to better understand the thoughts and feelings of the village as a whole.

Kindest regards
