Save Westridge Farm campaigners urge residents to attend planning meeting

Ryde Town Council’s planning committee will be considering the planning application for development in Ryde tonight (Tuesday) from 7pm.

A large number of residents are expected to attend the meeting, so it’ll be held at the Methodist Church on Garfield Road, instead of the usual council offices.

Save Westridge Farm

They will be also attending tonight’s meeting, the first 15 minutes of which is given over to public questions.

Have your say before comment deadline
