Thursday's meeting will be held in the Assembly Room at the Guildhall. This is the large room on the second floor - head up the main staircase to find it.
The meeting starts at 1.30pm but the Perdiswell application won't be heard until 3pm. If you're intending to go I suggest you aim to get there for around 2.45pm.
Clearly there will be both objectors and supporters in the audience. You can sit anywhere in the public gallery but can I stress that it's important to behave with courtesy, whoever you find yourself next to. Also listen to the speeches and let the Councillors and Officers speak without being interrupted.
Let's hope for a good turnout and a positive outcome.

33' - People in the public gallery shouting out anti comments. Chris Mitchell halts proceedings telling them to desist and they could have applied before today to make comments. Any other comments would see them thrown out of proceedings.
