What is a Town Partnership?
The idea came out of the Newtown & Llanllwchaiarn Place Plan “OUR TOWN, OUR PLAN” (http://staging.newtown.org.uk/consultations/placeplan.html) which was developed with the local community between 2019-2021. The Place Plan sets out the town’s aspirations on a wide range of topics for the 15 years between 2021-2036, many of which need effort of many organisations and individuals across a wide range of knowledge, skills and experience.
What might a Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn Town Partnership do?
In its simplest form a Town Partnership can influence and enable others. There are plenty of ideas in the Place Plan to choose from – economic, social, environmental – all of which have come from grass-roots community consultation, for example to improve tourism, enhance overall social facilities, and helping to tackle climate change.
