The plan is available for downloading, viewing and/or printing here

The letter accompanying the plan is here

The opinion sheet, which can be downloaded and returned, is here

The Focus Group had some initial concerns about how the removal would fit into the overall plans and whether work would need to be, expensively, re-done later.     We reproduce the information  here, for the sake of local democracy.   Having now been able to review these documents  we cannot see that this plan is likely to cause any serious concerns although we would be interested to receive comments.
