A meeting has been called by the newly formed residents group named Residents Against Inappropriate Developments, RAID, tonight at 8pm in the Village Hall, Tuesday 4 May 2010.
Residents have invited MP Caroline Spelman, the police, Solihull Council, MEP and the Labour candidate.
Please not this is NOT a parish council meeting. The parish council continues to pressure Solihull Council to provide the facts of the Stop Notice and the details of the planning application. Once this information is available, the parish council will call an extraordinary meeting to make a decision on the planning application. The earliest date for this will be Monday 10 May 2010. This is because an extraordinary parish council meeting has to have three clear days notice which does not include weekends, bank holidays or the day the notice is served.
