Muse, and Bury Council have announced dates for the first community conversation on plans to create a new destination for Prestwich. Your Prestwich is an ambitious £100m project that will transform the Longfield Centre and cement Prestwich as one of the best places to live in the North West.
The community conversation will formally launch in January and provide information on the emerging vision and concept designs for the regeneration of Prestwich Village centre. Local people will have plenty of opportunities to get involved in shaping the plans
Stuart Rogers, project director at Muse, said:
“We know that the local community is excited to get involved in shaping the future of Prestwich Village so it’s great to be able to set out our plans for the first community conversation early next year.
“This is a once in a generation opportunity to deliver a new beating heart for Prestwich that appeals to everyone, delivers significant local benefits through investment and jobs, and solidifies the village as one of the most sought after places to live in the region.
“Together, we want to create new spaces to help people and businesses to thrive, with a mix of high-quality homes and family-friendly spaces, as well as a new community hub that promotes health and wellbeing and provides key local services. Getting local feedback will be crucial in helping us develop the plans and we’d encourage everyone to get involved, so we can create an inclusive place that we can all be proud of.”
Cllr Eamonn O’Brien, leader of Bury Council said:
“These are huge proposals which will transform the heart of Prestwich and ensure it thrives for decades to come. It’s essential that everyone plays their part in making it a success, so please come along to the consultation meetings, view the plans and give us your views.”
