DEVELOPING
THE FIVE TOWNS

Residents
can discuss the future development of the Five Towns at a series of
workshops in March.
The
Five Towns Urban Renaissance Towns Team is working on a development plan
and has invited people to attend workshops to see how it will be
progressed. They can also find out about projects which are already taking
place.

Team, said: "We are encouraging people to attend the workshops to
give their views on how the renaissance vision can be moved forward."

future consultations in Pontefract and Featherstone.
