East Devon District Council have decided to do some more consulting on the Town Centre & are throwing a load of money at it – many of you I’m sure have received a leaflet recently promoting this review/survey/consultation.
I’m somewhat bemused at this given many of the things they’re talking about have been discussed many times before but it seems they want to ask everyone yet again what they want … sort of… but at least you’ve an opportunity to at least try and have a say in the future of the Town Centre I guess 🙂
This is why they claim to be asking now:
East Devon District Council now owns much of the land behind the supermarket that is being built. The Council and Devon County Council are also due to be transferred more land in the town centre and eventually we will own around 9 acres of land between us.
Legal agreements are also being drafted that will see the developers contributing millions of pounds towards helping to build things in the town centre, such as a new library, leisure centre and health and wellbeing hub.
We want to make sure that Cranbrook has a town centre that meets your needs.
