Thriving Places
We’re revitalising Heywood’s town centre creating attractive, accessible spaces where people can meet, shop, learn and relax. The aim is more reasons to visit, fewer empty units, and a greater sense of local pride.
SHAPED BY YOU
Our Aims & Ambitions

Stronger Communities
Heywood has heart. We’re building on that investing in youth spaces, community hubs, events, and safe public areas. Our goal is a town where everyone feels welcome, safe and connected.
03
Taking Back Control
We want to support local ambition with better access to skills, training, and good jobs. That means helping young people into work, supporting new businesses and creating opportunities for all.
