Welcome to the Moreton-In-Marsh
Neighbourhood Plan
This plan is about ensuring that residents have a real voice in shaping our town's future. While we don't support over-development, we recognise that thoughtful, well-planned growth can benefit our community – but only if it meets the high standards our residents demand and comes with the proper infrastructure.
