'FANTASTIC RESPONSE' FROM THE PUBLIC IN BRIGG & BROUGHTON


There has been a 'fantastic' response by  members of the public keen to tell North Lincolnshire Council how they want to see the district develop over the next 19 years - in terms of housing, roads and other factors.
The local authority recently held consultation sessions  at the Angel Suite, Brigg, and at Broughton Village Hall.
Coun Rob Waltham, of Brigg, Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, told Brigg Blog: “The North Lincolnshire Local Plan consultations event are going very well. We’ve had a fantastic response from residents about the proposed plan.
"Over 80 people attended the events in Brigg and Broughton. There was a real mix of people who shared their views on potential growth, existing infrastructure, shopping and built heritage.
“Our ambition for North Lincolnshire is that it is the best place in which to live, work, visit and invest. Therefore it is important that we get the Local Plan right to help deliver this ambition.
“It’s important we find out how residents and businesses would like North Lincolnshire to develop. It’s your local area so tell us what you think its future should look like. If you haven’t already had your say, complete the survey online at www.northlincs.gov.uk/current-consultations.”

80 folks attended....in reality that's about 1 percent of the population.....I wouldn't claim that was a 'fantastic' response.
