We are holding a public event on 15 June 2012 to launch the Castleford Growth Delivery Plan. 

The event is an opportunity for local people and businesses to find out about the plans, and put forward their views.

The plan is a visionary blueprint for unlocking the economic potential of Castleford over the next 15 to 20 years and builds upon the work that has already taken place in the town centre and wider area.

In the short-term the plan will focus on improving the town centre, with long-term schemes providing key transport improvements, critical infrastructure, provision for over 2,000 new homes and the creation of up to 3,000 new jobs. The plan will anchor and support private sector investment and unlock key development sites to encourage economic growth.

The plans will be on display between 12.30 pm and 3.00 pm in the Carlton Lanes Shopping Centre in Castleford. Wakefield Council Officers will be able to explain the plans and answer any questions.

Members of the public and businesses will have until 16 July to submit their views to Wakefield Council.

A feedback form will be available at the event and will shortly be available on this web page.  All feedback will be collated, reviewed and where appropriate included in the plan.

The plan will be presented to Wakefield Council's Cabinet in the autumn.
