Buxton Design and Place Making Strategy
We have worked with the public to put together a strategy to provide a clear vision for how Buxton's town centre will look as it continues to change. We also agreed to a set of design principles to guide and manage future change.
Glossop Design and Place Making Strategy
This has been put together by the public and follows a programme of workshops held in 2010. People and groups with an interest in Glossop were invited to have their say and put together a vision for the future development of the town and its surrounding area.
