Macclesfield Economic Master Plan Update
To receive a presentation on the current proposals for the Macclesfield Economic Master Plan
Minutes:
The Committee received a presentation on the Macclesfield Economic Master Plan from the Head of Regeneration.
The following points were made:
·
There was a master plan which was necessary to ensure a cohesive
vision for Macclesfield. Projects were being implemented in
relation to the master plan to ensure they contributed to the
vision for Macclesfield.
·
Feedback from public consultation about Macclesfield was mainly
positive but some suggested the town was tired and in need of
improvements to its retail and leisure provision. There was also
strong support for arts and culture.
·
The cultural heart of the Town should be maintained around the
civic and town hall areas. Any developments should not draw focus
away from the heart of the town.
· Balancing heritage and modern developments would be important to ensure that heritage was maintained but improvements were made to Macclesfield.
RESOLVED:
(a)
That the Head of Regeneration be thanked and the presentation be
noted.
(b) That the Committee Members be provided with a copy of the presentation.
Councillor P Hoyland left the meeting
