RESIDENTS flocked to Clacton town hall to have their say on council plans for the next 20 years.

The first public exhibition on the revised local development framework for Tendring Council saw 190 go along to air their views.

Council planning officials were on hand to answer questions and speak to people about their concerns for the future of the district.

The blueprints include details on how many houses should be built and where within Tendring.

Carlo Guglielmi, planning boss at the council, said: “These public exhibitions really are the chance for residents to come along and let us know their views."

Anyone who cannot get to the exhibitions can pick up a form from all council offices, request one by phoning 01255 686177, or comment online at the Tendring Council website.
