Dear Residents of Bridge,
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Arising from the recent ‘Village Appraisal‘, the Parish Council is exploring
the possibility of a small affordable housing project for young people
living in Bridge. It is proposed to hold a meeting in the Village Hall

on Thursday 22nd June at 7.30 p.m. to discuss the project.

To launch such a project, we shall need the assistance of many organisations.
Initially, at least, we shall receive most valuable assistance from the
National Agricultural Centre Rural Trust (NACRT), a charitable organisation
which is funded by the Government.

NACRT's first task is to establish the ‘Housing Needs‘ of young people in
Bridge. If you are interested, please complete the attached questionnaire
and return it by 8th July 1989. The information given will be
CONFIDENTIAL. I suggest that you return your questionnaire in an

envelope marked ‘Affordable Housing Project‘ to

The Village Shop, High Street
Priors Estate Agents, High Street
or by post to the Parish Clerk at the above address.

Thank you for your help and I look forward to seeing you on the 22nd June.

Yours sincerely,

//,

CHAIRMAN
