Marple Wharf Urban Design Project

Since the meeting between Marple Civic Society (MCS) and Canal & River Trust (CRT) on 8th October 2012, CRT have invitied MCS to submit a community scheme for Marple Wharf.

Following on from the work carried out with Glass-House Community Led Design in 2012, MCS has now engaged in a Client Based Project for Marple Wharf with urban design postgraduates from The University of Manchester. 

Their brief is to work with the community to carefully develop sensitive and deliverable proposals for this important historical site.

This is the second time the Civic Society has been involved with a University of Manchester canal project.  The first was the "Vision for Marple - Regenerating Marple's Historic Canal".  
See here for the project report.

The Society's aim is to submit a community based scheme to CRT by June of this year.
