Southern Widnes Key Impact Area
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise,
Community and Resources, on proposals for the development of the Southern
Widnes Key Impact Area.
The Board was reminded that in March 2017, it had approved the Mersey Gateway
Regeneration Plan Plus, which focused
on a cohesive package of development opportunities in eight Regeneration Impact
Areas. It was reported that the Southern Widnes area had become a significant
‘gateway’ to Widnes and the wider Borough, with increased connectivity to and
from the area following the opening of the Mersey Gateway.
The report set out details of proposals to provide an attractive, high
quality and sustainable mixed use gateway providing an environment that
supported business growth, promoted an improved health and wellbeing offer for
local residents and encouraged visitors to the Borough.
RESOLVED: That the Board approve the recommendations as tabled
at the meeting.
