I have received communications from
a few individuals recently, who, given their experiences of the democratic
process – in part with respect to matters related to planning - have decided to
put themselves forward as candidates for election to the Highland Council.
Sadly their experiences of the planning system, as for many of us who support the aims
of APT, seem not to have
been positive.
How important is
it, in your view, that councillors should take an active part in planning for
their area?
I would be very interested to
learn:
How important you think it is for
Elected Members to the Council to encourage and support, influential, open and
transparent public involvement within the planning system?
Are you (or do you know someone who is) standing as a candidate in the forthcoming local elections. According to the campaign literature, will you / they be making planning issues important features of a pre-election campaign?
I I would like to feature candidates views on local democracy and planning on this blog between now and the elections in May so feel free to send details and put up comments.
