Junction community plan
Read about the latest proposals and funded projects that make up the Junction Community Plan.
The Junction Community Plan has a list of projects funded by developer contributions that your local councillors want to make happen. This is because they think the projects will improve your area and enhance the lives of everyone who lives and works here.
The list of projects is split into three sections.
- Awaiting funding – projects that councillors are minded to support depending on availability of funds but have not yet made any allocations towards.
- In progress – projects that have been funded and are ongoing.
- Completed – projects that are now finished.
