Residents can now have their say on town plan

Ross-on-Wye Town Council has submitted the town’s neighbourhood development plan to Herefordshire Council.

The plan which sets out the vision for future growth in the city is now at the next stage of consultation.

Herefordshire Council has announced that the Regulation 16 consultation will run from August 12 to 7 October 2019.

During this period anyone can view the plan electronically through the official Herefordshire NDP portal, at the Ross Town Council website or at any Herefordshire Council customer service centre and library within the county.

A paper copy of the plan is available for inspection at the town council offices during the regular working hours, and at the Ross library during its opening hours.

NDP steering group chairman Melvin Reynolds said: “For those with a deep interest, a huge amount of background information to the Plan is also available through the Ross Town Council website.

“Please note that Ross Town Council cannot receive representations or comments.
“Herefordshire Council alone is responsible for this consultation stage.”
