​Join our webinars and help influence Bury’s housing strategy

Residents, businesses and agencies are being invited to take part in webinars and have their say on Bury’s draft housing strategy.

Consultation runs until 22 February on what kind of homes Bury will need for people of all ages and for future generations.

The wide-ranging strategy will look at the quality and affordability of housing, in the context of economic growth, climate change, infrastructure and neighbourhoods.

Two webinars have been arranged for people do discuss the issues contained in the strategy and to give their views. One is just for residents of Bury, and the other is for stakeholders (such as businesses, developers, community groups, health and care providers and other partner agencies).
