HOMES in Danby are to be targeted by a special questionnaire in an effort to draw up a parish plan.
It is hoped the answers will yield the key to plotting a blueprint for the area's future.
Parish council chairman Herbert Tindall said the time was right for the community to produce a plan on how it intends to address economic, social and environmental issues.
With various funding sources becoming available, he sees it as vital for local people to spotlight opportunities for improving the area.
After a public meeting laid the foundations, an open day was held at the Moors Centre, in Danby, for representatives of local authorities, countryside and farming agencies, the national park and the community.
"The event went really well," said Coun Tindall. "We were relieved to see so many people from other authorities and service providers."
A steering group is now preparing the questionnaire for every household.
A final draft has been drawn up and members are getting ready to send them out as soon as possible.
Group members are standing by to help residents fill in the form.
