The first formal meeting of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group (NPSG) will take place on Wednesday 30th January 2019 at 7pm in the Staveley and Copgrove Village Hall.  The meeting is open to the public and there will be an opportunity to express your views on the emerging plan development strategy.
