5000 houses - another opportunity to find out the facts

Steve Webb MP and Cllr Linda Boon in last week's
crowded meeting at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall

Following Steve Webb's very full meeting in Chipping Sodbury last week and the previous meeting in Yate, residents have a chance to meet South Gloucestershire Council officials at a consultation event next week.

The Government has told the council to investigate where they would put 30,800 new homes, and South Glos are saying that 5000 of these houses would have to be near Yate and Chipping Sodbury.

The consultation meeting will be in Chipping Sodbury Town Hall next Tuesday (20 May) from 2pm to 7.30 pm, and you will be able to talk to the officials who are actually working on the Core Strategy, South Glos's outline plan for these massive developments.
