Market Towns

The Market Towns Toolkit contains practical guidance and information for local people who want to take an active part in revitalising market towns. It is designed to help local communities find ways to assess and improve the vitality of their town and surrounding countryside. In Cheshire, the market towns of Frodsham, Neston and Sandbach and Middlewich, Malpas and Nantwich are undertaking work.

Parish Plans

The Parish Plan is a vision of how you would like your town or village to be.
For many communities, it's also a stepping stone to applications for other grants such as those for transport and community services. Contact Cheshire Community Council 01244 323602.

Village Design Statements and Parish Landscape Statements

Village Design Statements are produced by communities to show what kind of development they want as part of their settlement. Parish Landscape Statements provide direction for development with respect to the parishes landscape. Contact John Gittins at Cheshire Landscape Trust for more information on 01244 376333 or email
