The East Hants District Council Local Plan consultation - deadline has been extended

We have extended the deadline to take part in our Local Plan consultation until 5pm on Friday 8 March.

Due to a technical fault, access to our online consultation website was interrupted for short periods on Saturday morning, and then again on Monday morning.

Residents were still able to read the plans and comment by email during this period, but due to the outage of the online platform we have decided to extend the consultation period.

You can read the plans and leave comments online on the button below or you can send us an email at [email protected]

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, please get involved and let us know your views.

A disposable barbecue in a recycling bin caused a fire in one of our bin lorries in Clanfield today, causing severe delays to our collection rounds.
