All 66 councillors across parties will voted on the Local Plan and the proposals put forward to them. You can see how your representatives voted via the Fragoff website.
JULY 2013
The preferred Option was now in draft form and the 12 week consultation period started during the summer. The council attended various venues across Sefton to advise residents of their plans. You were permitted to raise objections to the Local Plan. These consultations were on an appointment basis to which we strongly objected. We hoped they would change their minds, we hope you got the opportunity to attend.
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS PLAN GO THROUGH BECAUSE NOBODY ATTENDED AND NOBODY RAISED OBJECTIONS.
