Middleport consultation proves a success

27 March 2010

Dozens of local people took opportunity to have their say on the future development of their community. 

Residents from Middleport were consulted at three separate events this month and asked to give their views on development plans for the Port Street, Travers Street, Harper Street and Burgess Street areas.

A ‘development brief’ is now being written, taking into account feedback from the consultation process and these results will be shared with the local community.

The development brief is a document which sets out clear guidelines about the quality of housing and local environment, what materials will be acceptable and any important features that must be incorporated into the new development. The brief also ensures that any private sector development also meets the high class standards and aspirations for the area.
