“The Central Lancashire City of Preston, Chorley and South Ribble will be recognised as Lancashire's economic driver where opportunities and accessibility will be maximised.

It will be a centre of learning, have a varied cultural and historic landscape and be known for its sustainable and secure communities, innovative and creative businesses, retail and leisure opportunities, and fine parks and open spaces.

The City will have a range of high quality and affordable housing to meet the needs of both existing residents and of the new residents required to achieve the City's economic growth potential.”

Preston, Chorley and South Ribble councils are beginning a new process of planning positively for the future of our area, and want your views. Our initial, draft vision is above. Do we have the right vision? Have you any other ideas or suggestions, or have we missed anything out?
