Consultation event
A major consultation event was held in The Station, Richmond,
on June 10. More than 100 people attended to have their say.
Background
The consultation process followed a decision at a meeting of
our Resources Committee on April 8 to collate a range of options
for the future of Yorke Square as a community
resource. Members asked for a report to be brought back when
this work has been completed.
At the same meeting, councillors voted to formally withdraw a
planning application for the site.
These decisions were ratified at a Council meeting on April
29.
