Hello ,   IMPORTANT - AREA MEETINGS - PLEASE ATTEND   As expected there has been very little publicity about these events. They are part of the public consultation exercise by NYCC.   Both the Hambleton and Craven agendas have been distributed and they say that the public will be invited to ask questions at the end without prior notification.   We need as many people as possible - especially from the local area of the meeting - to attend these meetings to ask questions and show that the public are really interested. All the local County Councillors should be there because the public meeting will be followed by a council meeting. It's vital that they know we think this scheme is pure madness.   Please encourage your friends in these areas to attend:   DATE AREA VENUE TIME 6th SEPT HAMBLETON HELPERBY 2.00 PM 9th SEPT CRAVEN BOLTON ABBEY 10.00 AM 13th SEPT SELBY REGEN CENTRE 6.00 PM 15th SEPT RYEDALE NORTON INDOOR 10.30 AM 16th SEPT YORKSHIRE COAST & WHITBY PAVILION 4.00 PM 22nd SEPT RICHMONDSHIRE COLBURN COMMUNITY & HEALTH RECREATION CENTRE 10.00 AM 22nd SEPT HARROGATE THE OLD SWAN, HARROGATE 2.00 PM Decision Delayed We have been told by NYCC that the vote by councillors on whether or not to proceed with the Allerton Park plan has been delayed from October 13th to December 15th. That does not mean we should slow down our efforts to make sure councillors understand all the arguments. It just gives us a bit longer. Please carry on doing all that you can to make public and councillors aware of what's happening and your views.   Other news There are quite a few important things happening and some changes being made to the timetable. We'll keep you informed over the next few newsletters. If you want to help in any way, please go to the website www.nywag.org and volunteer.
