Baron's Quay Consultation


There’s an online consultation questionnaire on the Weavervalley website, also available as hard copy from Northwich Information Centre.
The consultation papers themselves are on the Talking West Cheshire website - http://www.talkingwestcheshire.org/talking_northwich_and_rural_no/my_community/barons_quay.aspx


Some thoughts (please get in touch if you'd like to add more):
In Vision, design and principles -  “Sustainability – achieving a balance between the natural and built environment“
In Masterplan - Baron's Square is triangular
The market, which should be central to the town and an excellent place for startup businesses, in neither mentioned nor marked on the map.
A splendid weeping willow and two magnificent poplars are not in the plans, and I trust some of the excellent feral apple trees, between existing car park and river, are to stay enhancing the place (and per their ideas of sustainability).

Regional Strategy 2010 - closed

Principles & Issues Paper Consultation
The Regional Strategy for the Northwest (RS2010) provides a unique opportunity to bring together its spatial, economic, social and environmental strategies and build a new long term vision for the region.
The goal is to produce an agreed strategy for the region. The region needs to have a clear and distinctive vision for its future and identify a limited number of priorities.
A key element in the development of the RS2010 is the production of a Principles and Issues Paper.
