A public consultation on a draft plan for Carlisle for the next three years has been launched.
Carlisle City Council’s draft Carlisle Plan for 2021 – 2023 has now been published.
The plan sets out the council’s vision and priorities.
Leader of Carlisle, John Mallinson, said: “The Carlisle Plan – an ambitious plan to deliver growth. Working with partners, more than £250 million of government funding has been secured to deliver housing, infrastructure, and regeneration projects.
“This is in addition to the two major projects already underway – The Sands Centre redevelopment and the reinstatement of the ground floor of the Civic Centre.
“Carlisle is now well placed to bounce back from the impact of the pandemic and the programmes and projects in the Carlisle Plan will make a tremendous contribution to this recovery.
“The focus on two priorities, economic growth and health and wellbeing, will continue to guide our use of new and existing resources. This is in addition to the daily delivery of all the council services, which are equally important but often less visible.
“Working together we can deliver economic growth and improve health and wellbeing.”
A programme of public consultation events will be staged. Find out more about the draft vision and priorities at the following consultation events:
