There’s lots happening. The environment agency objected to OCC’s plans for the bank of the stream. We submitted a complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman. And the council announced that it wanted to appropriate Bertie Park so that it could “regenerate it”. So we went to talk to the council again:
What we found out:
OCC will have to amend their plans, so they will have to consult again. They won’t say whether the play area will have to be even smaller. We may have to wait months before it goes to planning committee. But we should find out about the proposed appropriation before that. The next cabinet meeting is on 18th. Watch this space!
