Public consultations underway

There are several public consultations underway at NW Leicestershire District Council and Leicestershire County Council. It is good to contact them and express your views, since it is the sum of these views that forms part of the basis of decisions, especially planning decisions.

The public consultation on the location of new housing for NW Leics closed on the 23rd of March, but you can still write to Councillors to pressure the Council, especially those Councillors on the NW Leics Council Planning Committee. There has been no formal public consultation on the number of houses in the new housing plan, only the location of them.
