Retford Town Centre Neighbourhood Planning Group (RTCNPG) starting its communications plan to engage with members of the public.
There will also be discussions with local community groups about the best way to engage with their members and a research programme will follow to assess the effectiveness of the communications.
A RTCNPG website will be developed in the coming months where information can be presented, and until this is in place, Retford Business Forum will be including a page on their website www.retfordbusinessforum.org.uk
This may take a couple of weeks to put in place, however it was felt important to start the face-to-face communications as soon as possible.

Bassetlaw’s Draft Local Plan has now (January 2019) been published and a range of public consultations are scheduled for January-March, 2021. To read much more click here...
The draft plan consultation now has a closing date for responses on 10th March 2019.
There was a consultation event in Clarborough Village Hall on Wednesday 27th February 2019 which is open to all. To summarise:
The draft plan is available in Libraries or electronically at bassetlaw.gov.uk/BassetlawPlan.
The Plan includes targets for growth in the number of houses and for businesses. We are part of Rural Bassetlaw.
The target for new houses by 2035 in Bassetlaw is 6630. 1777 of these are planned for Rural Bassetlaw.
There is a requirement for parishes to accommodate a minimum of 10% new houses on a baseline of their present housing stock. Our proposed target is 50 houses. We have 38 allocated in the Broad Gores development.
There is also an upper limit (target) of no more than 20% new houses.
The Parish Council will discuss how to reply to the consultation. Bassetlaw welcomes comment from all residents and businesses.
