Why is PB2040 important?
'Perry Barr 2040: a vision for legacy' sets a framework for Perry Barr that will deliver long term improvements in the area. It seeks to build on the regeneration projects already underway and capitalise on the significant momentum created by the Games to secure a genuine post-Games legacy that local people can be proud of.
The masterplan has been developed following extensive engagement and public consultation, and it sets out:
- A vision to unite stakeholders
- Clear objectives that identify the themes that are key to the area's transformation
- Place principles to deliver the vision for the future, focused on five themes:
