A series of drop-in events will be held so residents can give their views on how the Lancaster district should look in the 2040s.
Earlier this year Lancaster City Council started work on a new Local Plan, which will set out opportunities for the housing, jobs and infrastructure that are needed by a growing population.
The plan will also update the policies that are used to make decisions about planning proposals.
As part of the process of drafting the Local Plan, the council is now asking people for their views on a draft vision for the district.
It covers the eight themes of:
• Securing economic prosperity
• Meeting our housing needs and delivering the right type of housing
• Transport & connectivity
• Healthy lifestyles & safe communities
• Making sure infrastructure is in the right place
• Addressing the climate emergency
• Nature recovery & biodiversity
• Protecting landscapes & townscapes
“This is a chance for local people, businesses and organisation to get involved and help shape the future of the Lancaster district," said Councillor Jean Parr, cabinet member with responsibility for planning and placemaking.
"I hope as many people as possible will get involved, either through the online consultation or at one of the many drop-in events being held.”
The consultation period runs until Friday September 20 and an online survey has been set up to capture people’s views.
More information and the chance to get involved in the consultation can be found HERE.
Confirmed drop-in events will take place at the following locations:
• Lancaster Town Hall, every Wednesday (until September 18), 10am - 3pm
• Morecambe Library, Tuesday July 30, 3pm -7pm
• Carnforth Train Station (on the platform), Thursday August 1, 3pm - 7pm
