Lancaster City Council

A vision for how the Lancaster district should look in the 2040s is the subject of a new consultation and series of drop-in events. Earlier this year we 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. An online survey has been set up to capture people’s views: https://lnkd.in/erWRkNvB. Details of confirmed drop-in events can be found at https://lnkd.in/en4JH3WW.

Lancaster City Council was allocated £5.3million by Government in 2022 through the UKSPF fund ( UK Shared Propserity Fund). The fund is focused on building pride in place, supporting high quality skills training, supporting pay, employment and productivity growth and increasing life chances in local places. Some of the successful projects, which include the Lancaster Grand Prix are now coming to fruition and helping to reshape the future of the district. Listen to Lancaster Grand Prix Roy Holmes talking about how the investment has helped to secure the popular cycling event for another year ahead of this year’s event on July 28. #cycling #womenscycling #womeninsport #cyclinglife #NatRoadSeries #UKSPF
