Support our Neighbourhood Plan for Hackbridge and Beddington Corner

Vote at the local referendum on 29 November 2018

 

We have worked hard since 2012 writing our neighbourhood plan for Hackbridge and Beddington Corner (in between responding to many planning applications).

We have consulted on our neighbourhood plan at various stages over the years and have listened to your comments and made amendments.  Now our plan is ready to be voted on by our local community, who get the final say on whether it should be approved!
