WHY are the Lib Dems not listening to local residents and to the Richmond United Group [RUG] in particular?
• We have actually carried out a lot of consultation. The UDP, which is the basis of the Council’s planning strategy, was consulted on widely as are all UDPs. Amenity Societies, interested parties, and individuals had an opportunity to comment and the plan was approved by the Government Inspector. Several public consultations, including the Twickenham Challenge, have taken place. The present schemes take full note of the need to replace the playground, the public toilets, café, and open space, as well as providing the River Centre, all matters raised in consultations.
