12 September 2018 Newsbrief 34 Planning Inquiry date and minutes from General Meeting

At our General Meeting on 30 August, we reported that we were expecting the Planning Inquiry into the Lancaster Local Plan to be held later this Autumn or possibly early in 2019. We have now been notified of the date. It is 7 January 2019 and is only a provisional date at this stage.  We don't yet have any further details about the duration of the inquiry or the issues that it will address, but as soon as we receive any more information we'll pass it on to you.

I am very glad to report that our fundraising for Neil McDonald is going very well indeed - Neil being the expert on housing need forecasts who we want to represent CLOUD at the Planning Inquiry.  On 6th September, when I last called into the Cumberland to check, we had raised £1,240 towards our target of £2000. Now that we have a date for the inquiry, raising the rest of the funds is even more crucial.  Many thanks to everyone who has already contributed so generously. If you haven't made a donation please do so as soon as possible. Here are the details of the CLOUD bank account :
