Placemakers Regenda Homes hosted a workshop to discuss innovation and best practice methods of regenerating Fleetwood's public spaces.

The event included speakers from Lancaster University, Wyre Borough Council and Active Lancashire, who discussed innovative approaches to improving public health, achieving growth and delivering long term, sustainable regeneration.

Attendees, representing a range of sectors, took part in a range of small group discussions identifying challenges and opportunities and how these can be solved to improve communities.

Regenda Homes is investing £10m into Fleetwood as part of a ten-year plan.

Chris Standish, regeneration manager at Regenda Homes, spoke about the organisation's approach to place-making and shared best practice.

He said: “Placemaking is about delivering regeneration through planning, design and management. We capitalise on local community assets and potential, working closely with a wide range of partner agencies to promote wellbeing.

“We have already had huge success in Oldham and are currently part way through our ten-year vision to regeneration Limehurst and Hollinwood, with significant private sector investment and new sporting facilities providing opportunities for local residents.

“This is something we are now looking to replicate in Fleetwood and we have already started to deliver some fantastic results.”

Adrien Leather, CEO at Active Lancashire, said: "Innovation and behaviour change are key to regeneration. Regenda Homes has a great place-based model that works and we are pleased to be a long term partner." Following the workshop, attendees were taken on a guided tour of key sites in Fleetwood where regeneration work is under way, including the new Extra Care site, Lighthouse View, on Chatsworth Avenue; the EWI project being undertaken by M&Y Maintenance and Construction on the Flakefleet Estate and the Greenfield Road project.
