Let's Talk... about the future

This is your chance to have a say on the future of NPT!

During the summer, we asked you to tell us what matters most to you. This helped to shape our Draft Corporate Plan 2022-27, called ‘Recover, Reset, Renew’, and our Budget proposals for 2022/23.

Now, we need to know what you think of the plan so we can move forward together and build a better future for everyone here in NPT!

But don’t worry if you don’t have time to read the whole thing, take a look at this handy one pager which will give you an overview of our plans.

We would be really grateful if you could take a few minutes to have your say.

The survey will be open until Tuesday 1 February 2022
