This means that the final plan will now be the subject of a referendum at which all the residents of Arlesey can vote on whether to adopt the plan as part of the planning considerations for the parish of Arlesey. The date of the referendum has been set as Thursday 30th November 2017 and we would encourage all residents to come out to vote on Your Plan for Your Arlesey. The Plan has been around two years in the making and has involved consultations on how it should be formulated. 4 on the button issue 62 October 2017 | 01462 834265 | onthebutton.online@gmail.com | www.on-the-button.co.uk
