Community event for Orgreave residents

Orgreave residents are being invited to find out more about the proposed Waverley community development at a public event this week.

The multi-million pound proposals by UK COAL will be outlined at a drop-in session followed by a presentation at Woodhouse Mill Working Men’s Club on Thursday 12 June from 5pm - 7pm.

UK COAL wants to redevelop the former surface mine site in Waverley into a sustainable high density mixed use community, including approximately 4,000 houses, community facilities and green areas.

Experts from planning consultants Atisreal will be on hand to provide information on the planned residential development, social and leisure facilities, environmental issues including sustainability, air quality, drainage, transport links and green space benefits for the residents. Information on the proposed office development will also be presented.

UK COAL is promoting a series of consultative events throughout June for locals living near the 741-acre site. Click here to download the full timetable of events.
