Prestwich Regeneration
Lib Dem led Prestwich Area Partnership is working closely with Bury Council and appointed consultants, URBED to develop Prestwich Town Centre. We aim to provide local residents and businesses with a first class sustainable shopping/working/living environment that local people can be proud of and that will encourage “passing” traffic to visit rather than pass through. Our aim therefore is not mere development but collaboratave regeneration of our town centre as a pleasant, destination for visitors and locals alike.

between 19th May and 6th June 2008. The library is open from 9am to 7.30
Mondays and Thursdays, 9am to 5pm Tuesdays and Fridays , 9am to 1pm
Wednesdays and Saturdays and 10am to 2pm on Sundays. For those unable to
attend the consultation, the documents are available to view online by

There are three documents available online which (links below) including the “Options Report” which looks at a number of options for areas in Prestwich for development, including; The Longfield Centre, The Health Centre, Metrolink Station, Tesco’s, a Techno Park and Prestwich Hospital among others.
