📢 Atherstone Town Council responds to the Local Plan consultation

Atherstone Town Council has formally responded to North Warwickshire Borough Council’s Draft Local Plan consultation, putting forward the Council’s views on behalf of Atherstone and highlighting the issues we believe matter most to our residents.

Our response welcomes the stronger focus on the River Anker, green infrastructure, biodiversity, walking and cycling, but calls for the Plan to go further and turn these ambitions into real improvements for the town.

We are asking for:

🌳 Greater protection for Atherstone’s important green, recreational and civic spaces
🚶‍♂️ Better walking, cycling and accessible routes, including stronger links through the River Anker corridor
🌿 Future development and Biodiversity Net Gain funding to help deliver the River Anker project
💷 Developer contributions to be invested in practical local infrastructure such as paths, bridges and crossings
⚽ Atherstone Football Ground to be removed from consideration for future housing development and protected for community and recreational use

The Council wants to ensure that future development brings real and lasting benefits for Atherstone residents, helping create a greener, better connected and more sustainable town.
