At the LLRA AGM, on 22 May at 7pm in the Discovery Cafe, residents will be asked to approve a new LLRA Constitution. The new Constitution has been developed to help the operation of LLRA and to allow us to develop a Neighbourhood Plan. Read the proposed new LLRA Constitution and the existing LLRA Constitution.
In advance of the AGM, the information below gives more detail on the changes. Please do come along to the AGM to discuss and vote on this proposal.
If you are unable to attend the AGM and wish to make any comments, please email LLRA@long-leys.org. The final decision will be taken by those attending and voting at the LLRA AGM on 22 May but we will mention at the meeting (not using residents’ names) any other feedback from the consultation we have had, before the decision is made by the community.
