Residents of Stoke-on-Trent have been invited to give their views on the city’s long-term vision to boost growth, employment and prosperity.

The Draft Local Plan sets out plans to create a sustainable city, including at least 18,960 new homes, expansion of employment land, and regeneration of brownfield sites.

The council's housing waiting list has increased by over 40% in the past year and now has more than 3,000 people on it.

The Draft Local Plan covers key areas such as housing, economy, transport, active travel, cultural heritage, health and wellbeing, and the protection of green spaces.

Cllr Chris Robinson emphasised that the plan aims to ensure families can stay together, residents benefit from job opportunities, and development is sustainable.

‘It’s about making sure that people can be proud of the place where they live and know that any development will be sustainable, ensuring our very green city remains just that for generations to come,’ he said.

‘And it’s also about making sure that development isn’t piecemeal but fits into the bigger picture of a long-term vision for growth and prosperity, that benefits all of us.’
