“We are aware that some residents are frustrated with the Go-Ape project and have met with them to discuss their concerns”. I would like to assure everyone that the Council takes delegated powers very seriously and we have complied with all rules, regulations and guidelines on this planning application.

A full report will appear on the web site in due course.
