To
all Parish Councils and Parish Meetings in Northamptonshire
and
others interested in village planning issues.
As
previously announced, our Road Show event this year will be on Thursday
April 8 at Great Houghton Village Hall. The meeting
starts at 6.30 for 7.00pm and refreshments will be provided.
It will end at around 9.00 pm.
As
a result of feedback from last year’s event, we are covering a
wide range of topics of interest and concern to Parish Councillors
and others. We have some very knowledgeable speakers, with
plenty of time scheduled for your questions and comments. Fiona
Howie is a national planning expert, and the other speakers are
all county specialists.
The
agenda is:
·
Affordable Housing – Fiona Howie, Head of
Planning and Regions for CPRE nationally
·
West Northants update - John Day
·
North Northants update - David Edsall
·
Reading the history of a listed building -
Christopher Hobson
·
The planning layer cake - Brian Skittrall
There
is no charge for up to two delegates from member Parishes, but for
catering purposes please contact us to reserve your places.
Delegates
from non-member Parishes are very welcome: up to two people may
attend at a charge of £29.00 per parish, which is convertible to
an annual subscription to CPRE for that parish. Again,
please contact us to reserve your places.
Reservations are through Sue Baylis at 01858 433136 or Sue.Baylis@CPRENorthants.org.
Our address for cheques is CPRE, PO Box 7939, Market Harborough
LE16 9XW. (Please note that this PO Box is not checked daily, so
contact us by phone or email first to order tickets.)
Great Houghton is centrally located for the county, just off
the A428 road from Northampton to Bedford, a couple of miles from
the A45 Northampton by-pass (Nene Valley Way). The Parsons
Memorial Village Hall is in Leys Lane at NN4 0AN.
Whether you have attended these meetings regularly or not, I
do hope that you or your colleagues can join us this year.
