Silverdale goes live
04/04/05
Following on from the local exhibitions of the latest masterplan for the
Silverdale Colliery site the project team has launched a new website www.silverdalenewvision.info.
The site provides up to the minute information on the latest news, changes
to the masterplan, public exhibitions and opportunities for the local community
to become more involved in shaping the plans for the area.
The plan to create a dedicated website was supported by the community
during the most recent consultation period, which stimulated a great deal
of constructive feedback and saw a number of people expressing their wish
to see further information available online.
Approximately 900 people attended the consultation event in all. Many
people gave their comments and views on the proposed way forward, which
the project team will now take into consideration as the scheme develops.
Now that the web site is in place, local people will have yet another way
to keep in touch and stay informed about the latest progress.
David Charmbury, English Partnerships Regeneration Manager explains, "The
creation of the Silverdale New Vision website is a great demonstration of
community consultation in action and proof that the project team recognises
the importance and value of the local community’s comments and involvement.
We hope that people will use the website to keep up to date with the latest
information as well as to send feedback direct to the team."
The Silverdale Information Centre in the local shopping parade has free
web access for local residents so everyone has the opportunity of viewing
the site and finding out the latest on plans for the former colliery site.
The plans for the site are being spearheaded by English Partnerships,
the national regeneration agency, in partnership with Newcastle under Lyme
Borough Council and Staffordshire County Council.
