​What is a Neighbourhood Plan?

A neighbourhood plan is a way in which we, as a community, can influence the future development of the town in which we live and work.   

A plan will enable us to develop a shared vision for future development by choosing where new homes, shops, offices, industrial sites and other development should be built.  It allows us to identify and protect important local green spaces and even influence what new buildings should look like.  

​Importantly our neighbourhood plan won’t just be about housing.  It will enable us to understand and better communicate our critical need for improved health services, schools, transport, sport and leisure facilities.  

The role of Young People

​Faversham belongs to all its residents, regardless of age, gender or anything else that may make us feel different.  Young people are the future of Faversham and its critical their voice is heard and listened to.  This competition is just one way we will be ensuring that we do this in a creative and expressive way.

How will the submitted art be used?

​All art pieces created for the competition will be displayed during our community engagement and consultation meetings, to be held at 12 Market place and other venues through Faversham in late 2020.  The winning designs will be used in communications materials associated with the Neighbourhood Plan and the final Neighbourhood Plan itself.  By entering the competition, you are providing consent for your artwork to be used for any or all of these purposes.

Prize

​Entries will be judged by the Mayor and prizes will be given for the best entries.  The prizes will be in the form of vouchers.  No single prize will exceed £25 in value.
