Revamp plan for 'new towns'
In August 2015, it was announced that a 10-point plan has been devised for Cherry Orchard and Park West which, if accepted, will provide future development of the area. Plans devised for the locality in 2002 were stalled due to the economic downturn and the council has proposed developing infrastructure, including shops and public transport.[3]
