Formby Parish Council Meetings: AGM and Ordinary

Formby Parish Council holds it annual general meeting followed by an ordinary Council meeting today.

The Council will appoint it's new Chair for the forthcoming Civic year during the AGM. The retiring Chair will present the annual report.

These meetings are significant moments in the local Civic year. There is likely to be some discussion about the proposed Neighbourhood Plan. This is an important matter since the completed plan will form the basis of local planning decisions in the future.

Formby Parish Council has proposed the area of the plan should cover those parts of Formby enclosed by the Parish Boundary. This would exclude those parts of Formby enclosed by the smaller Little Altcar Parish Council Boundary to the South.

Sefton MBC is asking the public for it's views on the proposed Boundary of the Formby Parish Council plan, there may be members of the public who would prefer the plan to cover both Parish Council areas.

The Sefton MBC consultation ends on 13 May 2013. Please make your views known.

See the Sefton Web Site for more: http://www.sefton.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=12382

Little Altcar Parish Council will meet on 21 May to consider it's ideas for a Neighbourhood Plan.
