The Planning Committee Meeting...
Get on-board....Get a RETURN ticket....
The Planning Committee will decide on the proposal soon, in February at the earliest. It will take place on a weekday; the venue has not been announced but it is expected to be in Gloucester.
....Why?
We need as many people as possible to attend so that the Commitee's councillors cannot ignore the public concern as they listen to the pros and cons of the application and as they make their decision.
....Where?...When?...How?
We really hope you will come to the meeting if at all possible. If you intend to do so, please register your interest now using the button below.
This will help us to provide sufficient transport to and from the meeting for those that need it. We will also be able to email those that register interest as soon as the date and location of the meeting are announced. You will be able to take the nearest bus to you, organised by GlosVAIN, or to make your own way there. For more details go to http://www.glosvain.info/PlanningDDay
We need lots of help to achieve the aim of getting lots of people to the Planning Committee meeting. We need help to organise bus transport from various locations, to persuade, recruit and co-ordinate people in each area to attend the meeting and a variety of other things.
If you can help us with this please get in touch ASAP: email pr@glosvain.info or call 07809 346 583
One thing everybody can help us with is publicising this as widely as possible. Download our poster here and distribute it where you can (display in shops, cafes and pubs, or directly to people in your neighbourhood by door to door delivery). Publicise it in newsletters and on-line – get some brief summary wording that you can use (e.g. to email to your child’s school and ask if they will put in their school newsletter, to put on websites, on social media etc.). Thanks!
