On Tuesday 3 June, Wyre Council hosted an event at the Civic Centre in Poulton-le-Fylde to showcase the successful delivery of various projects by the Town Centre Partnership Boards in recent years.
In Wyre, Partnership Boards for the town centres of Cleveleys, Garstang, Fleetwood and Poulton-le-Fylde have taken action to provide cross-sector leadership to deliver positive change and involve the wider local community. Furthermore, Town Centre Regeneration Frameworks for each town centre in Wyre set out strategic objectives and projects to achieve an agreed future vision for their respective town centres.
Projects highlighted on the day included Cleveleys highways improvements, public realm improvements in Garstang town centre, festivals held in Poulton-le-Fylde, and the ambitious plans to rejuvenate Fleetwood waterfront.
Council officers and board members also welcomed representatives from other local organisations - including the NHS, local libraries, voluntary sector organisations, amongst others – who expressed an interest in working with the Town Centre Boards moving forward.
Councillor Peter le Marinel, Portfolio Holder for Planning Policy and Economic Development for Wyre Council comments:
“These projects are a testament to the power of collaboration and community vision. By working together through our Town Centre Partnership Boards, we’re not only revitalising our town centres but also creating places where people want to live, work, and visit. It’s inspiring to see what can be achieved when local voices are at the heart of regeneration.”
