Garden Town partners, East Herts Council, are to launch a series of community forums that will give residents more information on housing developments planned for the local area.
Starting this month, the forums will bring planners, local councillors, developers and residents together under one roof to discuss future plans for East Herts.
The Garden Town villages in Gilston will be the first development up for discussion on Tuesday 27 February, 6.30pm to 8.30pm, Gilston and Eastwick Village Hall, CM20 2RB.
And you don’t have to be an East Herts resident to attend, anyone living across the wider Harlow & Gilston Garden Town area or has an interest in the project is welcome on the evening.
Further community forums will be held approximately every two months with Stortford Fields, Hert3 and Ware2 all expected to feature this year.
Councillor Vicky Glover-Ward, East Herts Executive Member for Planning and Growth, said: “We know that planning is a major area of interest and concern for the residents of East Herts.
“That is why improving how we communicate and share information around development is a key priority for our joint administration.
“We want people and communities to actively engage in shaping the places where they live, work and play and effective community engagement is key to this.”
