Call for projects and investment ideas

AECOM, an independent infrastructure consultancy, have been commissioned by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council to develop Town Deal Investment Plans for Newcastle-under-Lyme and Kidsgrove. Each Plan is aiming to secure up to £25m of Town Deal funding from the UK Government to improve Newcastle-under-Lyme’s and Kidgrove’s economy. Town Deals are primarily focused on capital projects to build, improve, maintain, or develop assets within the following three themes:

·  Urban regeneration, planning and land use: ensuring towns are thriving places for people to live and work, including by improving town centres; strengthening local economic assets including local cultural assets; and redeveloping vacant sites.

·  Skills and enterprise: driving private sector investment and ensuring towns have the space to support skills and small business development.

·  Connectivity: improving transport and digital connectivity.
