Community consultation experts Streets-UK contracted Space Unlimited to run a youth consultation project on behalf of Tesco in Linwood …

The project saw pupils from Linwood High and St Benedict’s High working in teams to answer the question “how can we help Tesco to build a fantastic Linwood?” The pupils explored three topics; Open Spaces, Roads and Traffic and the Town Centre, working with Space Unlimited project coaches to develop their own thoughts and presenting back their ideas to Tesco, the local community council and various other interested parties involved with the regeneration of Linwood.

Further information about the project can be found on the Love Linwood website:
