Moorlands launches legacy plan

Plans to support business growth and town centres are among priorities identified by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council before it is abolished in 2028.

The local authority has created a Legacy Plan to ensure that priorities set out in its Corporate Plan are effectively delivered up until the council is abolished as part of local government reorganisation.

A major of the plan is exploring the potential development of new enterprise units, as well as working with partners to refresh town centre plans for Biddulph, Cheadle and Leek.

Other key outcomes include a partial review of the Staffordshire Moorlands Local Plan, major capital projects for Leek Leisure Centre, the Nicholson Institute, Cheadle Market, Cheadle Leisure Centre, and plans formulated to improve Biddulph Leisure Centre.

The Legacy Plan can be found here.
