Whitefield to get a boost from the High Streets Task Force

Council leaders have chosen Whitefield to receive support from the national High Streets Task Force.

The aim of the task force is to provide expert advice and support to local authorities, communities and businesses to bring about long-term transformation of towns and cities in England.

Councillor Eamonn O’Brien, leader of Bury Council, said: “We are making our biggest ever investments into transforming the town centres of Bury, Prestwich, Radcliffe and Ramsbottom.

“We are determined to ensure that every part of our borough is well prepared to meet the challenges of the future, so it is important that the other centres receive the support necessary to enable them to fulfil their own potential.”

He added: “This is not just about businesses, though. Whitefield includes significant areas of deprivation in the Besses area of the town. As deprivation and inequality were key factors in Bury being selected by the Task Force, this could give us the opportunity to tackle a wide range of issues and lift the whole town and community. We want all residents across Whitefield and Unsworth to be part of this process.”

The Task Force is scheduled to visit Whitefield next January to progress the project. Ahead of the visit, Bury Council will engage with local businesses to outline the benefits and invite them to be part of the project as key stakeholders.
