Public asked to give views on ‘Place Making Plans’ for Connah’s Quay and Queensferry
Flintshire County Council has launched a public consultation on draft Place Making Plans for Connah’s Quay and Queensferry.
The plans are intended to set out a long-term vision for the two town centres, outlining priorities to improve vibrancy and attractiveness, and addressing the needs of people who live, work and visit there.
Initial consultation took place in 2023, when the public were asked to share their perceptions of the two towns. More than 1,300 responses were received through online and in-person feedback, which has since been used alongside research and data to shape the draft Place Making Plans.
The latest stage of consultation invites the public to view the draft plans, the priorities identified, and the council’s proposed approach to implementation. The consultation is supported by UK Government Shared Prosperity Funds.
Councillor Chris Dolphin, Cabinet Member for Economy, Environment, Regeneration and Tourism, said:
“As with a lot of towns across the country, Flintshire’s high streets have changed considerably over recent years due to changes in shopping habits and the covid-19 pandemic.
“It is important that we continue with the development of Place Making Plans for towns across Flintshire as they are key to attracting future investment projects which will bring positive impacts to local people and our local economy”.
The Place Making Plan activity is led by Flintshire County Council’s Regeneration team in collaboration with other council services and external partners. It follows Welsh Government’s request that all local authorities establish Place Making Plans, which will support future investment in town centre regeneration.
