Eastleigh council election: this Thursday, 3 May – how councillors voted on Local Plan

ADD UPDATE, 29 April 2018: Ahead of the all-out Eastleigh Borough Council election THIS THURSDAY, 3 MAY – when every member of the council is up for re-election – we thought it was worth reminding everyone which councillors voted FOR or AGAINST the borough’s Local Plan at the key meeting last December.

At this meeting, the council voted – without having all the necessary supporting evidence – to approve a Local Plan that includes the development of 5,200 new houses north of Fair Oak and Bishopstoke and a new road running from Mortimers Lane, Fair Oak in the east to Highbridge Road, Allbrook and the M3 in the west.
