Consultations

Your views and opinions are important to us and we'll always seek to consult with members of the public on our services, policies and plans.

Current consultations

Improvement options for Whitefield

We want your feedback on options to improve Victoria Park and the public space at the corner of Church Lane and Bury New Road. These improvements mark the start of the delivery phase of the adopted Whitefield Town Centre Plan.

Take part in the survey and view the proposals. Consultation closes on 3 November 2025.

Consultation on a draft Extra Care Housing Strategy

We want your views on our draft Extra Care Housing Strategy.

Extra care housing are developments of self-contained homes with design features and support services available to enable self-care and independent living.

Most people who have care and support needs now, or in the future, wish to be supported in their own home, or a home that can better meet their needs. Increasing the supply of extra care housing in Bury is key to preventing and avoiding admissions to residential care and hospitals.

Please take a look at the draft strategy below and complete the questionnaire.

Consultation closes: Friday 21 November 5pm.

Consultation on single use vape regulations

Bury  Council is responsible for making sure the rules in the Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (England) Regulations 2024 are followed.

As part of this role, the council must explain how it will use fines, warnings, and other penalties included in these rules.

This explanation (or guidance) should be read alongside the actual regulations and Bury Council’s overall enforcement policy.

Have Your Say

We’d like to hear what you think about our guidance on how we’ll use fines and other penalties when enforcing these vape regulations. You can share your thoughts in the following ways:

Deadline to respond: 28 November 2025.

What Happens Next?

After the deadline, we’ll review all feedback. This will help shape the final version of the guidance, which we’ll publish after the consultation ends.

How consultations work

Consultations provide a way of having a conversation about a subject. They allow you to get involved and give feedback, which helps us understand your ideas, views, concerns and opinions.

When a consultation closes, we will assess all responses and will act on the results. Working in this way helps to ensure our policies and and the services we deliver reflect your views and priorities.
