Northumberland County Council also considers that the plan meets the necessary legal requirements and is now ready to proceed to local referendum.

If a majority of voters are in favour of the plan, it will be used to make decisions on planning applications in Alnwick and Denwick.

Alnwick Town Council, together with Denwick Parish Council, has created the plan and councillors have engaged with the community to produce the document, which addresses issues local people believe are important.

All those eligible to vote will receive a polling card, with postal and proxy voting available.
