Elected representatives and council officials

Make sure your elected representatives know how you feel about development plans for Hook.

Member of Parliament – Ranil Jayawardena, MP

You must include your full address so that he can be sure you are a constituent. Lobby Ranil Jayawardena to have the planning system immediately fixed to protect areas where, for purely technical reasons, a new Local Plan has failed to be approved. In these cases Local Authorities must be allowed to retain control over local settlement boundaries. It must not be up to developers to decide where housing can be placed.
