Hesters Way Forum Street Audit Analysis

We have invited representatives from Locality the government body who are overseeing the Neighbourhood Planning process to give us first hand help regarding the Cyber Hub development and its relationship with the Fiddlers Green Lane properties.

If you would like to attend a site visit with Locality and/or discuss the subsequent proposals please contact us on; info@hesterswayforum.co.uk 

We will be holding the next forum meeting once the drawing proposals are ready. Hopefully pretty soon!

The next meeting of the group will be on Monday 25th June at 5.30 – 7pm at the Hesters Way Community Resource Centre.

We’ll be reviewing the street audits done so far an going to look at the streets around Fiddlers Green Lane to assess the way the new Cyber Hub will interact with the current residential area.

Agenda 25th June Neighbourhood Forum Meeting

Cheltenham West Vision

Cheltenham Borough Council and Cheltenham Borough Homes have engaged the services of the Nash Partnership to produce a vision for the development of the of CheltenhamWest.

Much of the area under consideration including the properties, businesses and parks lie within the boundary of the Hesters Way Forum and so will be of interest to the group as part of its aim to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for the Hesters Way ward.

The key principles of the proposed Vision for Cheltenham West are to:

Improve connections for pedestrians and cyclists across the Cheltenham West area
Improve connections to existing areas of open and green space
Create new facilities for community use along Princess Elizabeth Way
Change the character of the area by creating new landmark buildings or features
Maximise investment opportunities and connections to the proposed new
development in West Cheltenham.
Improve opportunity for investment in Coronation Square shops and facilities
Create new public spaces and improve the landscaping and play facilities in existing ones
For more information about the proposals please see;
