Get Involved - the Future of Formby Point

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

Through the Formby Point Project, the National Trust is developing new approaches to caring for Formby's coastline in the coming decades. 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 this special place in shaping these plans. Here you will find information about upcoming consultation events and discover what we talked about at previous events.  

Talking to local people
Our ongoing 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 come together to discuss ideas and suggestions about managing the coastline. See the timeline below for more details of the community involvement process so far.
