Thank you Tony for your kind words and for all your guidance 🙏
It has been an absolute pleasure working with the @JQPlan #neighbourhoodplanning team over so many years - the result is one of the most thoughtful and well evidenced neighbourhood plans yet and one worthy of the historic and economically important Jewellery Quarter
