Thank you to those who contributed to our two meetings to go through the consultation document.
And a huge thank to those of you who have already responded. As of today we have had over 100 responses – which is great, but the more opinions we have the better and stronger the plan we pass on to Broxtowe will be.
Please tells what you think of the draft plan’s proposed planning policies by visiting:
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/GRC3R92
We would encourage you to read and comment on them all. But if time precludes this, then please focus on the policies on Housing and Green Belt, Local Green Space and Transport.
Please pass this on to friends and neighbours and encourage them if they are not yet a member of Bramcote Neighbourhood Forum, to consider joining at http://eepurl.com/b3LBK9.

I like the so called ‘conference recess’ as it gives me even more time to work in the constituency! I will be attending the Conservative Party conference on Monday but then it’s “business as usual”. Please enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Gents,
If like mine, your other half is lost to you every weekend evening watching Strictly, then why not surprise her… and take her on to the dance floor yourself?
15 December is the date of the annual Christmas Ball held at the Memorial Hall (http://pandjdancing.co.uk/calendar-of-events.html) – it’s a Friday so there’s no need for her to give up on the weekly Strictly fix!
And if like me you are more Ed Balls than Fred Astaire, worry not! Every Saturday morning (9-10 AM) there are lessons I the Memorial Hall. Starting this week with a sequence dance – that is a dance where everyone does the same steps (so you can sneak a quick look at the couple on either side).
The first sequence dance lesson this coming Saturday, 30 September is a Saunter Reve (a simple form of Foxtrot – take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWqx81oIwGY)
Cheers
