PONTELAND residents can have their say on changes to Northumberland’s Core Strategy at a drop-in event next week.

The major modifications to the Core Strategy document in relation to Ponteland involve the addition of plans for a Garden Village, at Dissington, and a supplementary planning document for land at south-east Ponteland.

Residents can attend a drop-in event at Ponteland Memorial Hall on Wednesday, from 2pm to 7pm, to respond to the consultation.

Planning staff will be available to discuss the consultation documents.
