A Neighbourhood Plan special meeting was held in Newton Aycliffe Youth and Community Centre on 21st February 2015. The purpose of the meeting was to feed back the results from the first round of consultation and encourage residents to take part in the next phase of the Plan – the working groups.
Angela Corner said “There were over 50 guests in attendance and 20 of those expressed an interest in taking part in one of the working groups, which is a fantastic response”.
The three working groups will focus on the three key issues identified by residents during the consultation process – Retail, Housing and Environment. Each group will be tasked with turning the issues raised by residents into planning policies.
The Environment group was the first to be established and met on 5th March 2015. It is envisaged that the Retail and Housing groups will be meeting in the next couple of months.
If you would like to keep up to date with the work of each group, meeting notes will be posted on Great Aycliffe Town Council Website and regular updates will be provided via Newton News and the Great Aycliffe Neighbourhood Plan Facebook page. If you were unable to attend the meeting but would like to get involved please contact Angela Corner on 01325 300700 or email angela.corner@great-aycliffe.gov.uk
