Get Involved - the Future of Formby Point

Project

Future Formby — What will the future look like for this family?

Welcome to these pages, which keep you updated with the Formby Point Project, and help you get involved with the future care of the Formby coast.

We aspire to improve access, conservation and facilities along this dynamic and ever changing coastline, loved by many and home to rare wildlife. These plans will affect you and the future generations who come to enjoy this special place.

We want to involve the many people who love the Formby coast in shaping these plans. Here you will find information about upcoming consultation events and discover what we talked about at previous events. Our conversations are happening in lots of different ways. We have held local meetings, open days and drop in events, and recorded the views of hundreds of Formby residents and visitors. Our Community Involvement Panel is an additional voice for local people, where a cross-section of the community discuss ideas and suggestions about managing the coastline.

'Future of Formby' community consultations held across Formby

During September 2018 the National Trust ran community events across Formby to gather feedback on the outline plans outlined in the 'Future of Formby' booklet. This formed part of an ongoing partnership approach to planning for the future, where plans are developed in conjunction with local people, key partner organisations and stakeholder groups. Views of local people and visitors were collected through an online and paper survey, and in face to face conversations at Formby pool, library and village market.
