Following the successful launch at the Village Hall Curry night in September, Drayton 2020 is now properly up and running with a Steering Group and Working Groups.
Initially Four (now five) Working Groups were formed and they are meeting regularly to gather views and information about their topics and about what, if any, housing is needed in the village.
The five groups are:
