I voted for the Plan to go to the public

Letter from Cllr Julie Morris (Liberal Democrat – College Ward) referring to Cllr Nigel Collin’s comments reported in the Cautious Councillors Cause College and Court Cancellations.

Dear Editor,

Councillor Nigel Collin’s statement in your online newspaper that the Liberal Democrats voted for the Draft Local Plan is untrue.  No-one has voted for the Draft Local Plan.  A vote was taken to agree that the Draft Local Plan would go out to public consultation.  That is completely different to voting for the Draft Local Plan which implies that the contents of the document were agreed and approved in a vote.

Yours sincerely,

Julie Morris – Leader Liberal Democrat Group – Epsom and Ewell Borough Council.
