Community Highstreets Programme Survey - Goodwin Parade/Walker Street

Community Highstreets Programme – Goodwin Parade/Walker Street 

The Goodwin Parade/Walker Street Neighbourhood Centre is one of the 16 areas to be included in the Community Highstreets programme. 

This brings funding for the community to establish and start to deliver a vision for change in the area to reinvigorate the high street. What this change looks like is up to the local community, but the work can help to tackle issues such as -

  • shop vacancy
  • traffic
  • graffiti

it can also deliver improvements such as -

  • community events
  • green space
  • seating

The Goodwin Parade/Walker Street Neighbourhood Centre covers the parade of shops, the Goodwin Club and The Church of the Holy Apostles on the east side of Walker Street as well as The Octagon and St Victors Church on the west side of Walker Street.

We really want to hear your views on this project. You may work in the area, run a business, or visit the shops or a local service. Equally if you live nearby and you do not visit the centre, please tell us why.

Get involved and help us create a new vision for the local and neighbourhood centres within your community.
