Re: Craven District Councils Proposals to develop key areas
of Skipton
A poll will be received by Skipton electors on the 30th and 31st
of August, and it is important as many people as possible have their
opinions recorded.
More details:
Skipton Civic Society has arranged this completely independent
poll of Skipton electors because the changes proposed for the town
are far-reaching, and need to be subject to a wider consultation
than that employed by Craven District Council.
The plans for the 7 sites listed below depend on one another financially,
and cannot be treated separately. THEY ARE A PACKAGE which you either
support or oppose.
Your vote is vital to the future of Skipton, please complete the
form when it arrives on the 30th/31st August.
Thank you.
