The Council is now starting to prepare the next stages of the new Local Plan and people are being asked to take part in an initial consultation on three key documents, to spark debate and discussions about the issues the new plan should address in order to meet the needs of Hyndburn for the period to 2033.
Councillor Miles Parkinson, Council Leader, urged people to take part, saying; “The Council has to maintain up-to-date plans to support growth, so there is enough land for homes, jobs and the infrastructure necessary to support them. We’re urging as many people as possible to take part in the debate about the issues the review should address in order to plan for the period to 2033.”
Cllr Parkinson added; “The Council is putting forward a number of different options for housing growth - the number of dwellings to plan for each year, employment growth and distribution of growth around the Borough and we want people to have their say about this. At this stage no decisions have been taken and so it is important that as many people get involved as possible.”
The consultation is running until Wednesday 11th April. Drop-in events have already taken place in Huncoat, Clayton-le Moors, Oswaldtwistle and Great Harwood. Two more events are scheduled in Rishton on 20th March and Accrington on 26th March where people can see a presentation, view information boards and discuss the documents with Council Officers.
Drop in events:
- Rishton Conservative Club – Tuesday 20th March 2018 (4pm-7pm)
- Accrington Town Hall – Monday 26th March 2018 (4pm-7pm)
