Shropshire Council will be hosting the launch of the Shrewsbury Vision Regeneration Framework at Theatre Severn on Monday (23 January 2012).

The event will give investors, developers and associated professionals invited to the launch the first opportunity to view the newly-launched framework and highlight the new and exciting future development in the town.

The Shrewsbury Vision Regeneration Framework will provide the blueprint for dynamic and sustainable change in the landscape and fortunes of Shrewsbury.

The framework outlines the Vision, on how the Shrewsbury community want to see the town progress in the years to come; Strategy– how work across a number of fronts, including housing development, accessibility and economic development can contribute to the Vision; and Delivery – a series of actions and a framework to progress the strategy and deliver on the Vision.

There will be a visual presentation of the framework and an opportunity for attendees to meet key stakeholders and speakers, which include consultants Broadway Malyan who will provide an overview of the Shrewsbury Vision Regeneration Framework including:

  • An overview of Shrewsbury
  • The Vision objectives
  • The development framework
  • The key development projects and opportunities
  • Shrewsbury in 2030

Lead panning adviser, Gary Halman, will be highlighting the unique opportunity Shrewsbury is offering versus the national climate, and why and how Shrewsbury is interesting place for developers.

Councillor Mike Owen, Cabinet member for economic growth and prosperity, said:

“Following an intense period of consultation and planning with all stakeholders, Shropshire Council is very proud to announce the launch of the Shrewsbury Vision Regeneration Framework, which establishes a clear and inspiring strategy up to 2026 that will prepare the town for sustainable growth.

“We hope this event will give developers the incentive to visit the town and see the opportunities for themselves and ultimately encourage long-term investment in one of Shropshire’s leading market towns.”

Councillor Malcolm Price, Cabinet member responsible for planning policy, added:

“Everyone who has been involved in the development of the Shrewsbury Vision Regeneration Framework is committed and shares genuine passion and enthusiasm for this town.”
