Get Involved - the Future of Formby Point

Project

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

Welcome to these pages, which aim to keep you updated with what’s happening about the future of Formby Point and how you can get involved.

The National Trust is developing plans for how we can care for Formby's coastline in the coming decades. These plans will affect you and the future generations who come to enjoy this special place.

We aspire to improve access, conservation and facilities along this dynamic and ever changing coastline, loved by many and home to rare wildlife.

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 including meetings, Open Days and one-to-one conversations.
