The \u00a317m redevelopment plan for Denton will start to take shape over the coming months.<\/p>\n

Public spaces around the town centre and Victoria Park could benefit from significant improvements including improved pedestrian and cycling routes, and cycle parking.<\/p>\n

The plans will use a ring-fenced pot of \u00a316.7m in Levelling Up Funding granted to help transform the town.<\/p>\n

Just under \u00a33m has already been earmarked for the Festival Hall regeneration alongside repairs to Denton<\/a> Town Hall.<\/p>\n

Residents and businesses will now be invited to help shape plans for public spaces in Denton as part of the wider improvements for the area.<\/p>\n

The projects could bring multiple benefits to the town including consolidating public services; improving community spaces; enhancing travel routes; and improving the appearance of the town.<\/p>\n

Coun Stephen Homer, Tameside<\/a> council executive member for towns transport and connectivity said: \u201cThe Public Realm Masterplan and strategies will support the goals for Denton town centre over the next 10 years, enabling the council to attract investment and deliver a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need the voices of both residents and businesses to shape this vision. Denton, like many town centres, needs investment and action to meet the needs of current and future communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic input is vital, and this strategy must reflect what people want, so that Denton can be a place everyone is proud to call home.\u201d<\/p>\n
