SEATING capacity has been increased and a live stream is in place as part of special arrangements for Redditch Borough Council’s Planning Committee meeting.
Next Wednesday (October 26) the Committee will consider an application for the erection of 236 homes with open space, landscaping, drainage, infrastructure and other associated works on land off Far Moor Lane.
It is anticipated that the cross boundary application with Stratford will attract a lot of attention and public speaking arrangements have been extended over and above the normal limits.
While extra seating will be put in place for the meeting at the Town Hall, it is still limited to 70 seats so people, including speakers, are asked to use the livestream service where possible.
Coun Timothy Pearman who will be chairman the meeting which starts at 7pm, said: “We want to make all of our meetings accessible to everyone and the use of technology helps us to do this particularly when we expect a high turnout.”
On the night the Town Hall car park will not be available to the public, although any registered speakers who need disabled parking can contact Democratic Services to reserve a space at [email protected]
Anyone wishing to speak at the meeting must notify the council of their intention to do so by 12 noon on Monday 24th October, by emailing Democratic Services at [email protected] or calling 01527 64252 Ext 3304.
