East Riding council planners  will decide on January 26 whether the controversial visitor centre should be approved. This artist's impression (with a limited view of the car park)  is by Salt architects of Beverley

                                
IT is too late to submit a comment on  the proposed visitor centre.

After receiving  almost 1,000 submissions from interested individuals, East Riding of Yorkshire planning department has bow closed its register.

However, it is not too late for anyone to lobby either for or against the controversial project - for instance by writing a Letter to the Editor of  the Hull  Mail, or by raising the matter in a phone-in programme  on BB Radio Humberside.

The right of the public to lobby  decision makers is an important element  of the democratic process so there is nothing to prevent anyone from contacting the 12  councillors who are set to make a decision at East Riding Council's  planning committee to be held l at its Beverley HQ on the afternoon of January 26.
