If the reason for the meeting change is because of the Planning Board Decision scheduled for 7th June… then I think we ought to be told about it.

At the meeting of the council Maggie Godfrey claimed that the planning board had called a public hearing on the plans for the school. If this is the case the decision wont be given until after that hearing, however Mrs Godfrey was also unaware that the public consultation period for the school plans was long over and seemed completely out of touch with the entire academy debate, as well as Maltby in general. There was nothing about a public hearing on the online planning portal, nor have i seen anything advertised in the local papers so i suppose we will have to contact the planning dept ourselves to establish the facts.
… and hope that the planning department will tell us some facts !
