Steering Group
We used the Newsletter and our first community event to seek volunteers to help us form a Steering Group to oversee the production of the Old Catton Neighbourhood Plan.
We are delighted to say many residents of Old Catton put their names forward to join the Steering Group.
The Steering Group has led on the management of the Neighbourhood Plan and holds regular open meetings which anyone can attend.
The Steering Group will meet again once the Neighbourhood Plan has been through its independent examination. We will advertise the date once the meeting is scheduled.
