Dear friends and neighbours -
Exciting times! It looks like a decision about the plans for the old biscuit factory site on Slatefored Road will be made on 28th July, and the council's planning committee will be making a site visit. Let's hope they can see for themselves just how inappropriate the proposed 5-storey high tenement blocks with inadequate access point and parking arrangements would be for our area.
To help them make the right decision, with involvement from ourselves, the alternative contra-plan that many of you have helped to design is going to be launched to the public on Saturday 26th June at 1pm - please come and support this short event, to which journalists and our local councillors are being invited. It will be held on the shared green behind Violet Terrace (if it's good weather - St Michael's church hall if it's raining). The architects and urban planners who have been supporting us will help to present the ideas that we think could work much better for both the existing and new communities. The session will last just over half an hour - after which we can all head off to enjoy the canal festival!
Your support for the contra-plan launch is really important - we do hope to see you there this Saturday.
