The town and parish councils of Sandown, Shanklin and Lake will formally launch the Bay Area Place Plan this week.
It will take place at a public meeting at the Broadway Centre, Sandown on 8 January.
in partnership with the Isle of Wight Council,
The plan was commissioned by the three Bay area town and parish councils and the Isle of Wight Council.
It is expected that the plan will successfully coordinate different projects and initiatives and help both the public and private sectors access grants and other sources of funding.
It's hoped this will help guide investment and regeneration initiatives across the Bay Area of Shanklin, Lake and Sandown in the years ahead.
The plan sets out a strategic direction for the Bay Area, including the principles and values that different projects should respond to based upon extensive consultation and engagement with the local community, including businesses that operate across the bay.
In July 2023, a three-day event – dubbed the “Think Space” – was instrumental in generating new concepts and testing out ideas for change. Many of these ideas have found their way into the final report.
A key recommendation in the plan is to the harness the creativity and enthusiasm of local people to deliver a series of highly visible and relatively inexpensive quick-win projects that will shift perceptions of the Bay Area.
To find out how you or your organisation can be involved during 2024, please come along to the launch event to find out more.
