Your local Lib Dem councillors have guaranteed that a parish plan gets the go ahead after the new Area Action Partnership set up by the Unitary Council turned down a funding request.

The Parish Council will now have the funding to start full consultation with local residents on every issue affecting Brasside, Pity Me and Framwellgate Moor.

Councillor Rev Crooks commented “By using some of the County Councillors Neighbourhood budget we can have a lasting plan for developing our area, working to improve the lives of everyone living here.”

The Parish Council has also committed funds and work will hopefully start soon.
