Masterplan team unveils early ideas for Collyhurst and wants your views

The team developing the new masterplan for Collyhurst has been starting work in the area over the last few months. They are looking at things like where new homes will be built, where green spaces and new community facilities should go.

These boards were on display at our public event in Kylies Kitchen on Wednesday 13 March 2024. The drawings are not definitive plans but early ideas which draw together suggestions that we have collected from you.

The early ideas include:

A ‘Social Seam’:

This a route through Collyhurst which provides a safe walking route to connect neighbourhoods and improves the public realm with hard and soft landscaping. It could include:

· new shops and cafes

· improved amenities (facilities for the community)

· cycle routes

· parks and trees

· playgrounds / places for sports

Connected nature trails:

We would like to continue to work with residents on connected nature trails across Collyhurst for:

· Walking

· Cycling routes

· Sports

· Dog walks

These trails will increase biodiversity and wildlife habitats.
