I mentioned this in my last News Update. This event has been organised by Professor Hans Haenlein and others and is a wonderful opportunity for local people to see how they can engage in planning of their neighbourhood. This is an initiative born out of the ‘Neighbourhood and Community Rights Process’ which stems from the 2011 Localism Act. Please do sign up to attend as below and hear how this is happening in other areas :
