Dear DADA folk,
The festive season is upon us and it is a busy time when we can be distracted by festivities. Developers will make use of this period to try and slip through council new planning applications. We need to stay vigilant.
This is very likely to happen with the development of Preston Market and we will be discussing, amongst other things, strategies to Save Preston Market at the DADA meeting at 7.00pm, Tuesday the 13th of December at 33 Dean Street, Preston.
You are most welcome. Hope to see you there.
If you can’t make the meeting you can send me your news and/or apology.
Cheers, Maria
DADA
