YORK Outer MP Julian Sturdy is hosting a public meeting on Saturday, March 24, about the draft Local Plan for development in York.

The drop-in event runs 10am-12pm at Haxby Memorial Hall, and ward councillors Tony Richardson and John Gates will also be there. The MP said it had been a "long road" to get to this final stage of consultation over the plan, but said there was "understandable concern" in areas like Haxby and Wigginton.
