People from across Bolton have been invited to help shape a local plan that sets out which sites could be suitable for development or protection. This is a unique opportunity for residents to have their say on the future of their town and help decide which areas should be preserved and which should be developed.
The local plan is a crucial document that will guide development in Bolton over the next few years. It will identify areas that are suitable for housing, employment, and other uses, as well as areas that should be protected for their environmental, historical, or community value.
Bolton Council is encouraging everyone to get involved in the consultation process, whether you are a resident, business owner, or community group. Your feedback will help shape the local plan and ensure that it reflects the needs and aspirations of the community.
Some of the key issues that the local plan will address include housing supply, employment opportunities, transportation, and environmental protection. The plan will also identify areas that are at risk of flooding and propose measures to mitigate this risk.
The consultation process will involve a series of public events and online surveys, where people can provide their feedback on the draft local plan. The events will be held at various locations across Bolton, including libraries, community centers, and town halls.
The draft local plan will be available online, and people can provide their feedback through an online survey. The survey will ask questions about the proposed development sites, protected areas, and other aspects of the plan.
Bolton Council is keen to hear from as many people as possible, and is encouraging everyone to get involved in the consultation process. The council believes that the local plan should reflect the views and aspirations of the community, and is committed to working with residents and stakeholders to create a plan that is fair, sustainable, and effective.
The consultation process will run for several weeks, and the feedback will be used to refine the local plan. The final plan will be adopted by Bolton Council and will guide development in the town for years to come.
So, if you care about the future of Bolton and want to have your say on development and preservation, now is the time to get involved. Attend one of the public events, complete the online survey, or provide your feedback in writing. Your views will help shape the local plan and create a better future for Bolton.
