Stoke Waterside scheme moves ahead
The next phase in the regeneration of Stoke-on-Trent's City Waterside area is set to be approved on Monday when the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and the housing market renewal pathfinder RENEW North Staffordshire will confirm nearly £6m worth of investment. HCA board member Kate Barker is to visit North Staffordshire on Monday to announce £2.9m of funding. On Wednesday, Stoke-on-Trent City Council's cabinet will be asked to approve matching funding of £2.9m from RENEW. The funding will be used for land assembly, land remediation and key highways and services infrastructure works for a new mixed-use development, preparing the way for 250 new homes and a new state-of-the-art factory for Bridgewater Pottery.
