Shaun’s talk will include a discussion of the government’s controversial planning reforms, the details of which are expected to be announced shortly.

The proposed reforms will be the most important national shake-up of the system for almost 30 years.

Shain said; “We continue to work with civil servants, MPs and the media to highlight our concerns and priorities and to seek to influence Ministers’ thinking as the final framework takes shape.” He advised people who are concerned to contact their MP: “It is not too l ate to influence this process.”

The meeting will take place at 8pm on Thursday, March 29 and Chellington Centre, Felmsersham Road, Carlton.
