We have all been lobbying for meetings with everyone who we believe could help us with our campaign to stop the overdevelopment of the village and then get involved with the preparation of our Community Development Plan.

In the past week we have had a very productive meeting with Mark Tami, our local MP who is very supportive of our cause. We have also met with the planning department at Flintshire County Council to discuss the objections they have received on the Redrow Chester Road application and how they are being viewed.

We need to do some more work on understanding some of the policies they referenced before we communicate what we need to do next - but there is clearly a need for further action from the community.

The planners suggested that the earliest we could expect the application to go to Committee is now December. They also confirmed that we are still able to make objections and submit comments via the planning officer, Alan Wells (alan.wells@flintshire.gov.uk).
