The Peak District National Park Authority start today their public consultation on their new Core Strategy for the Local Development Framework. This is the policy document that is used to inform their planning decisions. The focus of this consultation is on their website, where there is an on-line survey, with various background and ‘preferred option’ documents.
Assimilating all the information and implications of such consultations can be hard work. Anyone who wants to help summarise the information to ensure as many people as possible are aware of what is being proposed, please let us know either by commenting below or emailing parwich@hotmail.co.uk. Also sharing comments on the process often helps others clarify their views so please do add your own comments or email them in to create further posts.
It is important that as many Park residents as possible have their say if we are to influence future planning decisions. The Authority does not always recognise the level of self-employment and the number of small businesses in communities such as ours. Although it is important to preserve our beautiful scenery and fine old buildings it is also important we ensure the Authority recognises what is required to ensure our communities continue to flourish.
Also increasingly the Authority is relying on the internet for their public consultations, so do let anyone you know, who might want to comment but is not on-line, about this consultation.

The Junior Tennis Tournaments are to be held tomorrow, Saturday 24th October 2009:
The infants need lots of boxes for junk modelling and building things – cereal boxes, tea bag boxes, tubes from kitchen and loo rolls, egg boxes, cat food boxes – any other boxes you can think of. Please either give them to someone you know who goes to school or pop them into school yourself. Thank you.
