Malcolm Robinson Bedlington West Ward. · · I put the Housing and Economic land availabity assessment (HELAA) Map up for Bedlington and there have been lots of people viewing and commenting on it. At the last Community Partnership meeting questions were asked about the possible housing increases we might see but no one was really able to answer those questions. With 1000,s of possible new houses there are questions to be asked! So I’ve asked the NCC Head of Planning to come and explain to us what it all means, how it might affect us and what we need to do to have some input. It’s a public meeting at Bedlington Community Centre, on Front Street, and again it’s a 5pm start on the 11Th November. So if you want to hear what changes to our planning system the Government have and are introducing, what they might mean for us here in Bedlington and if you have any questions about this, the best person to answer them will be there! Hope as many people as possible can make it.
