Meanwhile, Hull City Council is seeking public input for a new development plan aimed at creating a more sustainable and family-friendly city center, with consultation events scheduled for February. In Thatcham, local councils are pushing back against proposed housing developments, aiming to reduce the number of additional homes and protect community identity amidst concerns about infrastructure and environmental impacts. In Welwyn Hatfield, residents contributed key themes for a new Local Plan, emphasizing climate change response, community values, and improved accessibility while addressing future growth and development needs.
