Recent consultation
Skelmersdale town centre
Extensive consultation has been carried out on
the proposals to regenerate Skelmersdale town centre.
Coronation Park, Ormskirk
We've been encouraging local residents and people who
use Coronation Park to give us their views in the annual
survey. Around 170 people took part in last year's survey and the
results helped us make improvements such as work to the duck pond,
and a better events programme following which the park won the
coveted Green Flag Award for the first time. This year's survey
closed on 1 November 2008 and results will be published here
as soon as they are available.
Beacon Country Park - new play
area
During August 2008, people were asked to vote
on this website for their favourite design for a new play area for
Beacon Country Park, Up Holland. We also held a exhibitions and
consulted young people themselves. The favourite design has now
been selected and will be installed during Autumn 2008.
Richmond Park, Burscough
Local residents and schools have given their views over the
summer about proposed improvements to Richmond Park.
The information you gave us is now being analysed and a public
viewing will be held in October to present the proposed scheme and
to carry out further consultation.

Local Development Framework
(LDF)
The Council held "Spatial Forum"
consultation events in July to involve the local
community in the preparation of the Local Development
Framework (LDF). The Council is currently interpreting the
information from these events and a feedback report will be
published during the autumn.
Open Space, Sport and Recreation
Study
Questionnaires were issued over the
summer to a random selection of 5,500 households in West Lancashire
to gather information about people's perceptions of open
space. This is a study to inform the evidence base
for the Local Development Framework (LDF). Consultation was
also carried out with schools and other key stakeholders. The
Council will use the survey results to inform an Open Space Study
which will be published later this year. More information will be
given here when the study is published.
