Members' Meeting (alteration to original schedule)
This meeting was originally to be held as "An
evening with Baldock's Councillors".
We regret that the Councillors have had to
withdraw due to their presence being required at a Council meeting to
discuss three very important planning applications for Baldock. A
proposed Adult Gaming Centre, the redevelopment of Burleigh House in
Letchworth Road and the redevelopment of the Beech Ridge Lodge site
are all on the agenda. The Baldock Society has submitted comments on
the first two applications (see:
Planning).
The meeting will instead go ahead
as a "Members' Evening", where the Committee will update
members on its activities, demonstrate the Society's website as a
means of finding out what the Society does, and generally discuss
members' issues and concerns regarding Baldock.
Both the Councillors and The
Baldock Society committee apologise for the alteration and hope
members will enjoy the Members' evening instead. |
