Fleetwood Pride In Place Funding Survey

How To Spend £20 Million of Investment In The Town of FLEETWOOD

YOUR TOWN. YOUR MONEY. YOUR VOICE. Fleetwood has been awarded a £20 million Central Government investment through the Pride in Place Programme— and we want YOU to help shape how that money makes a difference to the town.

The Fleetwood Pride in Place Board is developing an ambitious 4-Year Delivery Plan, focused on projects that can make a visible difference at pace, alongside a longer-term 10-Year Vision for Fleetwood’s future.

Most importantly, these plans must reflect what Fleetwood’s residents, businesses, young people and stakeholders want for their town.

Through the conversations and consultation undertaken so far, ideas and priorities have been brought together under four key themes: Community Assets, Tourism & Commerce, Industry & Connectivity, and Young People.

Now we need your views.

Tell us what you think about the projects proposed, what should be prioritised and where you believe the £20 million investment could make the biggest difference to you, your family and future generations.

Whether you live, work, learn, run a business or have a stake in Fleetwood’s future, your views matter.

£20 MILLION. 4-YEAR DELIVERY PLAN. 10-YEAR VISION.
