Public consultation now underway for Jubilee Gardens Masterplan

Wyre Council is excited to share its ambitions to redevelop the largest park in Cleveleys - launching a public consultation on the Jubilee Gardens Masterplan.

We have committed to reinstating and reviving parts of Jubilee Gardens on North Promenade. We are now creating a Masterplan to inform how best to reinstate areas currently closed to the public, and explore future improvements for the rest of the Gardens.

Now we’re keen to hear your views to ensure we deliver a coordinated, sustainable development.

Works will commence at the Gardens next year, following completion of our £40m Wyre Beach Management Scheme along the Cleveleys and Rossall coastline. The site’s car park and a portion of its green space have been closed to the public since 2023 to accommodate a site compound for the sea defence works, being delivered in partnership with Balfour Beatty.

We will be reinstating the compound area from summer 2026. We are also exploring how we could further revive the whole 3.18-hectare site.

The Masterplan will primarily inform our initial reinstatement works for the current site compound area. It will also create a multi-phase pathway to redeveloping the whole of the Gardens, prioritising what the community wants at every stage.

We plan to reopen to the redeveloped site in time to coincide with the Garden’s 90th anniversary in 2027.

We want to hear from residents, community groups, businesses and visitors alike on what features and facilities you’d like on the Gardens. Your feedback is essential to ensuring we create a space that reflects the ideas, ambitions and needs of all our community.

How to take part

• Complete the online survey
• Join our design ideas workshop (a street-art focussed event open to young people and families) - more details will be shared later in October
• Chat with us at a drop-in session at the Care for Cleveleys shop, Princess Rd, on Wednesday, October 22 from 3pm.

Masterplan timeline

We will be consulting for four weeks from October 20 onwards, after which time all feedback will be reviewed and fed into the Masterplan. A final version of the plan, including design proposals, will be presented to the Council in spring 2026, with a view to starting works on site in summer.

Development of the Masterplan has been made possible with funding as part of the wider Wyre Beach Management Scheme.
