Capital&Centric Plans for Newcastle-Under-Lyme Development 🧱
The public consultation for the regeneration of four sites across three locations is underway. You can have your say and see what the current plans are.
On a rainy Friday afternoon in Newcastle, inside the Castletown gin distillery, property developers Capital&Centric were set to welcome local folk to discuss the new developments to transform the town.

Dare I say that these proposals could make things even better than those “good old days”.
The bar was quickly filled up with locals of all ages, from some younger representation, businesses, people known in the area, the BID teams and residents intrigued as to what’s planned for Castle. The energy and vibe was like nothing I have seen in the area in a long time. There was so much positivity, good comments, support and pure joy!

Main stars of the show? The Capital & Centric staff, who were more than willing to talk through the plans displayed, answer any questions and go into more details on what was showcased. Seeing and hearing in detail the fact that the town will have a new music venue, apartments and houses available to people of all ages (yes, lots agreed that not all older people want to just live in secluded 55+ plus developments). It was ace to see mixed developments planned with green spaces to connect the areas and spill-out space to encourage more cafes and food establishments to open up. It was sad to hear that whether you are young or older many currently choose to go to Manchester for the day rather than venture into the town centre for a meal, drink or a coffee.
Castle Town is on the up and with that I cannot wait to see the new neighbourhoods thrive, new businesses open up and to finally have a cool new music venue to explore!
Should you fancy you can still give the developer your own thoughts, the link can be found below, feedback collation closes on the 20th May, so make sure you have your say before then.
