Posted by on

Packington Nook Residents Association (PNRA) letter – extracts:

The Planning Inquiry for Lower Packington Road has been set to start on Wednesday 24 September at 10am at Whitwick Business Centre, Stenson Road, Coalville LE67 4JP.  We expect the inquiry to last for a few days.

Please save this date for your diary.  Even though it is in Coalville we want to see a BIG turnout of supporters please!  Bring your friends and neighbours and share cars where possible.  Show them that this matters.  It is not clear yet when PNRA will be called to give evidence, but we will let you know the agenda closer to the time.
