Lache Action Plan
Overview
In November 2023, Cheshire West and Chester Council endorsed the Lache Action Plan, which has been developed from community consultation and engagement with stakeholders from October 2021 together with a series of public meetings. There was a broad consensus in favour of all four Action Plan projects, with strong support for each project from key parts of the community.
What is the plan?
Lache Action Plan consists of four proposals which aim to help improve the neighbourhood for local residents and guide investment in the area.
Lache Park (Sycamore Drive)
Plan to invest in new children’s play equipment, including inclusive play, to support improved facilities for children. This has now been completed.
Backies
Proposal to improve the 8-hectare former landfill area for wildlife and residents to enjoy as a green space amenity. This has now been funded and is in the delivery stages.
Lache Community Centre
Proposal to refurbish the existing building to improve facilities for local residents and help improve its financial and environmental sustainability. The initial phase has been completed and the final phase is under development.
Traffic/road improvements on Hawthorn Road and Poplar Place
Development of options to better manage traffic, making it safer to walk or cycle, and improving the way the area looks and feels.
There is no core-funding pre-allocated to each project prior to their development and all decisions on funding and delivery is subject to their final business case alongside opportunities to maximise funding from developer contributions and external funding.
