Cannock Chase Council is asking local people to get involved with future development decisions and have their say in the local plan consultation.
The consultation runs from 31 January until 27 March and asks residents, employers, local organisations and others for input into two important documents which will set out future development and investment in the District in the future.
The Local Plan (Part 2) will allocate sites for homes and businesses and green spaces based on the overall figures and policies set out in the Local Plan (Part 1), which was adopted by the Council in 2014.
In addition to this the council is also developing an Area Action Plan for Cannock town centre which focuses on improving local facilities and bringing much needed investment into the area.
The Council wants to hear your views on the range of issues which both plans are covering and options for addressing these.
Councillor George Adamson, Leader of the Council said “This is your time to get involved in future investment and improvements in the District. There are plenty of opportunities for you to attend a drop in session at your local library. We want to help Cannock town centre to be the best it can be, serving our residents and encouraging more people to visit and stay longer.”
There are drop in events at local libraries, where officers will be on hand to answer any questions you may have, all exhibitions will be the same so it doesn’t matter which one you attend.
