3rd January 2010. Flyers and the RSS. The new Year has dawned bright and cold, but Leglaggers will be keeping warm by running aroud to deliver the 4oooo flyers we have printed urging the people of Leckhampton to respond to the Joint Core Strategy team's public consultation on the future shape of our part of Gloucestershire by the Jan 31 deadline! (Sorry, that should be 4000 flyers - I hope!)
Meanwhile, the RSS itself (which is supposed to be the top level plan within which the Joint Core Strategy team makes more local decisions) looks even less likely ever to be enforced. GOSW states that the latest revisions will not be presented to Govt Ministers until March, at which time they may have other matters on their minds ... So it is a racing certainty that no final RSS will appear before the General Election, and, in view of Conservative's annouced policy re the RSS, odds on that it will never be in force. That will make the current consultation even more important , as the JCS team will have a much freer hand in creating local planning frameworks. So LEGAG's New Year resolution should be "Be Resolute!"
