Just back from the town hall.   After two and a half hours of discussion, the Northbrook plans were approved by the Strategic Planning Committee, with only one councillor voting against.

As I promised to do at the public meeting back in June, I used my right to speak at the committee to represent the views of local residents.   Representatives from the Lee Manor Society, NAG and the Manor House Gardens Users Group also spoke.

I’m sure I and others will write more about this in the days to come - but I’m knackered, so that’s all for now!
