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 sense of pride.
ABOUT US
The Heywood Plan is driven by a shared ambition to create a thriving town with better spaces, stronger connections and more opportunity for everyone. Our work is organised under three main themes, each shaped by the priorities raised by local people.
We’re focused on delivering real change, from transforming Heywood’s civic heart to creating the conditions for community-led growth. Explore our current themes and projects below.

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.
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.
