What is the Area Action Plan for Foxhall?
Blackpool Council has given the go ahead for a number of neighbourhood Area Action Plans. The first of these will be for Foxhall, with additional plans to follow in due course for South Beach and Claremont.
First proposed in the Blackpool Local Plan, the Foxhall Area Action Plan will map out a new vision for this important resort village. It will cover the area from Rigby Road to Chapel Street and from the Promenade to the Central Corridor. Extensive consultations will be undertaken with all those interested in the future of the area to establish the kind of place that people would like to see Foxhall developed into over the next 10 to 15 years.
Within the vision, the Plan will set out opportunities for investment and redevelopment and provide a framework for significant change and/or conservation. It will also include an action plan that will bring forward projects where the public and private sectors can come together to make a real difference.
The first stage of the Plan will be to engage with the community, establish the issues that are important to people in developing the long-term future for Foxhall and to map out different options for that future. This will enable the Council to develop real choices around which a consensus can be built for a preferred way forward. Further details on this consultation exercise will be released in the near future.
