Let Rushmoor council know your views on the proposed new Civic Quarter in Farnborough. You may have received an info card through your door about proposals for the new Civic Quarter in Farnborough. You can also view this at https://rushmoordevelopmentpartnership.com/civic-quarter/ Here you will find information and a survey. An exhibition is also taking place on Thursday 16th Sept 5 till 8pm and Sat 18th Sept 12 till 4pm at Rushmoor council offices. Lib Dem Campaigner for Empress Leola Card earlier this year raised the issue. " My personal view is that along with a new leisure centre we also need space for community groups that was lost when the community centre was closed and green space for everyone to enjoy in the town" Give your views to Rushmoor soon as all feedback is requested by the 23.59 on 26th Sept.
New Local Plan Puts the Environment and the Next Generation First
Derbyshire Dales District Council has started revising the 2017 Local Plan that will dictate where most new housing and business premises will be built. The new plan will be adopted in June 2023 but residents have two opportunities for commenting, next summer and in April 2023.
Local MP Tim Farron has told a major public inquiry that if plans are approved for a new coal mine in Cumbria it will "squander" the UK's ability to lead on climate change ahead of COP26 later this year.
Dominic Raab is one of the worst Foreign Secretaries in British history and has presided over the worst foreign policy disaster since the Suez Crisis. He decided to spend more time on the beach instead of picking up the phone to help vulnerable Afghans. His continued dithering and delays has put lives at risk. Therefore it's only right that his pay be docked for failing to do his job properly. By repurposing his Ministerial salary, we can fund 10 Afghan refugees to resettle and build a new life here in the UK. This is a much better use of taxpayers' money.
