Neighbourhood Plan for all other areas

Choose from the index:
Overview

At Jigsaw Homes Group we take pride in our neighbourhoods and want to work with residents to achieve our mission of ‘Creating homes. Building lives.’

Following on from our previous Neighbourhood plan model we have created a new plan for those residents who live in areas where there are smaller numbers of Jigsaw properties or where Jigsaw properties are more spread out.

This plan sets out our services, how you can get involved, links to energy and money advice and to external support services.
