SPEN MP Mike Wood is urging people concerned about the future development in the constituency to take the opportunity to make the Kirklees Council aware of their own views before it is too late.

A consultation is currently under way into what guiding themes Kirklees should consider in formulating its development plan.

The Labour MP (pictured) said: “In an area like ours, it is vital that we think very carefully about what development we permit.”

Comments can be made on the council’s website by Friday, December 19.
