In October 2023, Heywood was chosen as one of 55 towns across the UK to receive additional funding from the government to improve the area.
Between 2024-2034 we'll receive an additional £20 million to spend on things like:
- Safety and security
- High streets, heritage and regeneration
- Transport and connectivity
This is an opportunity that will benefit businesses, communities and individuals across Heywood.
Who decides what the money will be spent on?
A Town Board made up of local stakeholders, community leaders and employers will draw up their long-term plan for Heywood.
