LONG TERM PLAN FOR TOWNS

DUDLEY IS IN THE MIDST OF AN EXCITING NEW CHAPTER IN ITS HISTORY 

The Long Term Plan for Towns (LTPFT) initiative is a 10 year £20m programme, that requires local people and their priorities to be at the centre of the process, supported by long-term flexible funding.

A key principle is that it must involve local people from the outset, requiring representation from the community, such as faith groups, local charities, neighbourhood forum, CVS, NHS, Police, arts, heritage and sporting organisations.

The preparation of the Long Term Plan must include community engagement - to be maintained throughout the initiative, to define the key community issues to tackled and test potential projects. Safety and Security, High Streets, Heritage and Regeneration, and Transport and Connectivity are the three priority themes for LTPfT.

Dudley Town Board​

​

Dudley Council has set up a new Board to manage the establishment and operation of the Dudley Town LTPfT programme – as a progression from the existing Town Board. Government requires the new Board to be fit for purpose (as a community led initiative) and to focus on the three priority themes. DMBC will be engaging with community groups during the coming months and that may lead to additional representation on the Board, and/or through sub-groups at a level below the main Board, to help prepare and deliver the new Town Plan.

More information on Dudley Town Board is available on Dudley projects.
