Wyre Council has launched the first of two consultations for the development of a Masterplan for Cottam Hall Playing Fields in Poulton-le-Fylde. The council wants to see use of the 8.65 hectare site increased with improved sports facilities, accessibility, environmental and bio-diversity benefits, and is asking the local community to help establish its priorities.
The first consultation launched this week and runs until Wednesday 11 October and members of the community are being asked to complete an online questionnaire regarding how they currently use the space and their hopes for its future.
Local people will be invited to attend a Community Clean Up day at Cottam Hall on Sunday 1 October from 11am – 1pm with the Masterplan project team where questions about the project will be welcome. Litter picking equipment, refreshments and paper copies of the online questionnaire will be provided.
A second consultation later in the year will ask the community to comment on the initial Masterplan which emerges from this process, with the final Masterplan then forming the basis for future funding bids and planning applications.
This consultation closes on Wednesday 11 October.
This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
