Extensions to the Healthy Weston consultations

News - 2 May 2019

The Healthy Weston consultation period is being extended until 12 noon on 14 June 2019.
Healthy Weston consultations extended

This is because the election purdah period has been extended to cover the forthcoming European elections on 23 May 2019.

Cabinet Office guidance clearly states that public consultation events should not take place during European election purdah, even for consultations in progress.

The Healthier Together organisation is making sure people are aware of this change and once confirmed, the rescheduled public event dates will be widely publicised. For more information follow the link below.
