18/09/06

Partners responsible for delivering the new development in Lawley will be hosting an open day between 10am and 5pm on Saturday 23rd September at Lawley Community Centre to inform local residents about how plans for the venture are progressing.

 

Lawley is a key project for national regeneration agency Homes and Communities Agency and will create more than 3,300 new homes along with offices, restaurants, bars, a primary school, parkland and shops and housebuilders Barratt Homes, Taylor Wimpey UK and Persimmon Homes – known as the Lawley Developer Group - have been appointed by Homes and Communities Agency to develop the 70ha site.

 

Up to date information regarding the current planning status, preparation for start on site and architectural proposals will be available and computer animated fly-through DVD’s will be shown to demonstrate traffic movement, primary infrastructure work from the M54 motorway through to Lawley Drive along with visions for the overall scheme. Representatives from Telford Steam Railway will also be on hand to discuss the extension of the Heath Hill Tunnel line and the construction of a new terminal within the new development.

 

Neville Stebbing, director for the Lawley Developer Group comments: "We understand that Telford residents are extremely keen to know how plans for the Lawley development are progressing. We were pleased to welcome more than 380 visitors at the consultation in March and look forward to an equally enthusiastic turn out this time."

 

"Clearly this is the most efficient way of communicating information to local people."

 

Lucy Allwood, Homes and Communities Agency’ project manager added: "Lawley is one of Homes and Communities Agency’ key schemes and will become one of England’s largest new communities. It’s therefore important that the developers continue to maintain dialogue with local residents and we hope they’ll turn out in strong numbers."
