On Wednesday the Council staged the first of two exhibitions on their plans for the development of the Lowfields site. Few residents seem to have received a letter which the council claimed it had delivered in the area alerting people to the events. Residents reacted to the plans which can be seen at Acomb Explore Library. Visitors to the Library can fill in a short comments card. Concerns included increased traffic levels in the area and misleading claims about the provision of a "Police Station" on the site. Residents plan to issue their own publicity next week to try to encourage more people to attend Wednesday's meeting meeting
