Churchgate Project - How can I make my views known?
The plans that were the subject of public consultation in May 2010, were the proposal from Simons Developments which emerged from the competitive dialogue process and comprise Simons' vision of what they feel they could deliver on the site. This is the first stage of an extensive public consultation exercise to help inform the details of Simons’ vision for the redevelopment of Churchgate and its surrounding area. Feedback from the public exhibition and subsequent consultation will be used to help further refine the plans ahead of the submission of a planning application.
Residents and local businesses can continue to be involved in the process by:
- Feeding their views to any member of the Churchgate Liaison Forum – By clicking on the following CLF meetings you will find dates of future meetings and information about the CLF plus topics either discussed or to be discussed at these meetings.
This is a public forum that has been set up for the Churchgate Project and allows for an effective means of communication to occur between local residents, businesses and the developer. Forum members have been selected to represent the various interests in the town and all meetings are held in public and start with an opportunity for public participation.
