Plan for Neighbourhoods Public Engagement

Newton-le-Willows residents are being invited to have their say on their priorities to make Newton-le-Willows a stronger, better connected and healthier community - shaping the investment plan for £20m worth of Plan for Neighbourhoods Funding.

Plan for Neighbourhoods - previously known as Long-Term Plan for Towns - will enable investment over the next ten-years to grow the economy, deliver safer streets and create opportunities for everyone - with eight themes to be considered:

• Regeneration, high streets and heritage
• Housing
• Work, productivity and skills
• Cohesion
• Health and Wellbeing
• Transport
• Safety and security
• Education and opportunity

The newly created Neighbourhood Board - made up of a dedicated group of public, private and third sector representatives - has been tasked with developing a Regeneration Plan and Investment Plan for the area.

Following the Board's endorsement of the Engagement Strategy (PDF, 155 KB) the outcome of the public consultation will help to shape and prioritise investment within the plan, and therefore the Board is encouraging residents to engage in the six-week consultation that will be available online and through events out in the local community.

As of Monday 7 April, the public consultation has gone live for 6 weeks, closing Sunday 18 May.
