Our initial community conversation focused on how Eccles Town Centre could be improved and brought back to life. You shared what you value about Eccles today, alongside clear priorities for change to help the town centre work better in the future.
We have used this feedback to shape a draft masterplan that responds directly to what you told us. We are now continuing the community conversation by inviting you to review the draft masterplan and share your views.
A masterplan sets out a long-term vision and direction for how a place could change over time.
For a town centre, it is important because it helps bring different projects, improvements and investment together around a shared set of priorities. It provides a joined-up approach to regeneration, making sure change supports local character, works well for everyday life and strengthens the high street as the focus of activity.
The masterplan explains the priorities and principles that guide future development - such as where activity should be focused, how people move around, and how new buildings and spaces relate to their surroundings. It does not set out detailed designs or give permission for development. Those details would come later through separate planning applications, where there will be further opportunities for people to have their say.
