One City Plan

Over the past few months, a citywide plan for Chester has been developing, informed by a series of ongoing engagement with the community.

This is a hugely exciting opportunity to define the ambition of the City Centre and to draw together initiatives, projects and ideas for the City into its own single 'One City Plan'.
