The agenda for the Marple Area Committee Meeting on Wednesday 12 December has been published.As usual doors open around 5.30pm and the meeting starts at 6pm in the Marple Senior Citizens' Hall.
This month the long awaited Marple Wharf Development Application will be considered by Marple Councillors. This has been a controversial development that has been simmering for 10 years now and Marple Civic Society has spend a considerable amount of time and effort trying to encourage the Canal and River Trust to develop a scheme that will bring more benefit to the community. The Civic Society highlights that the most recent delays were due to the developer, H20 Urban, on behalf of Canal & River Trust, suggesting that our local councillors were compromised and therefore not fit to judge the planning application. It has now been confirmed that Marple Area Committee can consider this development next Wednesday evening.
The planners are recommending that this application be granted.
