Public Meeting - 15 May 2012

 

Centros 2012 - Yes or No?

Venue: Lancaster Town Hall
Tuesday 15th of May 2012
7.30pm

Find out about the Centros Proposals and have your say.

After having its proposed development scheme for the Canal Corridor site rejected by the Secretary of State in 2009, Centros have now come forward with a revised Proposal which can be viewed at virtual-lancaster:

The last scheme was opposed by several organisations including It's Our City, a group composed of local residents and people from across Lancaster. The It's Our City core group recognises that it is important to find out what local people think of the latest Centros proposals before formally expressing it's view.

To this end, It's Our City has organised a public meeting at which the new scheme will be debated. The meeting will be independently chaired by Alan Whitaker who is a former Pro Vice Chancellor of Lancaster University. A member of the It's Our City core group will speak in a personal capacity in opposition to the scheme. The main political groups on Lancaster City Council have been invited to provide speakers. Questions and contributions will be taken from the floor after a short opening statement from each speaker.
