The Save the Fellgate Green Belt group, has arranged a meeting for any person of South Tyneside who is interested in or wants to participate in this important decision.
It is short notice because of the time constraints imposed by South Tyneside Council in arranging the above Extraordinary Meeting.
As of the above date, the council has not yet provided an agenda or any supporting papers. We will be checking every day. If you want to check yourself then click here to go to STC site.
We hope you can attend and provide your views and thoughts.
