Referendum Information – Videos

    We have provided a number of short videos which highlight key aspects of the neighbourhood plan, please take to time to review them and support the plan at the referendum.

    The Referendum question is:

    “Do you want South Tyneside Council to use the neighbourhood plan for East Boldon to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area ?”

    Note from Grahame – to get the videos onto the Referendum Information page instead of a separate page I could display them in a gallery format like this. They will still play in a bigger window.
