OUR Vision FOR Parkgate
In 2020 The Parkgate Society produced ‘Our Vision for Parkgate – 2020 to 2030’ in collaboration with our local authorities. The objective was to identify areas of improvement which would benefit local residents and visitors alike, bearing in mind the importance of the visitor economy to the Parkgate area. In 2025 we are now half way through that original Vision period (2020 -2030), so The Society has taken the opportunity to review, update on the progress and to ensure it is relevant for the rest of the decade.
Our Vision For Parkgate 2020-2030
The 2025 mid-term update to
”Our Vision for Parkgate”. It has updates on progress so far and provides the outlook and plans for the next 5 years.
