In addition, an Expert Working Group was appointed at the 2017 AGM.  Its members are Phil Ternouth, Peter Quick and Tony Blendall. We will be recommending that the 2018 AGM reappoints this group which has provided valuable advice throughout the last year and worked closely with the Management Committee.   If any other CLOUD members have direct and recent experience of planning inquiries and are able to offer advice and guidance, they would be welcome as Expert Group members.

 

After the AGM we will provide an update on our campaign, concentrating on the preparations for the Planning Inquiry expected in January 2019.

 

Anyone supporting CLOUD’s aim is also welcome to attend this meeting and join our campaign. CLOUD’s aim is “to stop the proposed development of Bailrigg garden village and, where we judge it is appropriate, to help other local action groups objecting to other unnecessary developments, as set out in the current Lancaster city council Local Plan.”

Membership forms will be available at the meeting or you can join any time online at : https://www.cloudbgv2017.co.uk/getting-involved

 

If you’re coming to the meeting, why not arrive a little early and enjoy a drink or even a meal in the Boot & Shoe before moving round to the Cobblers Suite for our meeting.  We will ensure the meeting finishes well before closing time so there will also be time for a post meeting reflective drink!
