A SOUTH Lakeland town has taken another step towards the adoption of its own community plan.

Consultants and residents in Grange have been working to put together policies for a formal neighbourhood plan - which will shape future planning and development within the town - for the past two years.

Now South Lakeland District Council has approved a response to the important draft document.

Once final amendments are agreed, it will be returned to the authority for approval and assessment by an independent examiner.
