Levenshulme District Centre Plan – Stakeholder Workshops


Since February 2008 we have been working with our colleagues and partners to develop a District Centre Plan for Levenshulme. This plan will outline the objectives for improving the area over the next 10 to 15 and will set out a strategy for the revitalisation of the district centre in terms of its:
  • Retail offer
  • Public realm
  • Community, civil and leisure facilities
  • Public transport and accessibility

Our team of consultants have completed their initial research into the District Centre and have produced a baseline report setting out the key characteristics of the area along with the opportunities for development. This work has been overseen by a Steering Group consisting of local Councillors and senior Council officers.

We are now working on possible approaches to the future development of the District Centre and want to include the views of key stakeholders at this stage. Feedback from the stakeholder workshops will be used to shape a draft plan which will form the basis of the full public consultation in the autumn. We would therefore like to invite a representative of your group to attend one of the workshops listed below.

The stakeholder workshops will consist of four sessions for each sector of the community at
St Mary’s Parish Hall next to St Mary’s Church on Elbow Street. These are:

Local Traders – Tuesday 15th July at 12.00 – 2.00pm
Faith Groups – Wednesday 16th July at 6.00 – 8.00pm
Local Community Groups – Thursday 17th July at 6.00 – 8.00pm
Tenants and Residents Groups – Saturday 19th July at 12.00 – 2.00pm

You are free to attend whichever session you choose, but we have tried to tailor each workshop to meet the interests of the specific groups.
I would be grateful if you could confirm you availability for the appropriate workshop.

I look forward to hearing from you. If you would like any further information about the consultation process, or if you need anything to enable you to attend the event, please contact me as detailed below.

Yours faithfully,
