You’re Involved
UniQ aims to be the key to a brighter future for the people of Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire on many levels
It will result in a better quality of life and future prosperity for the local community, the student population, businesses and the city as a whole.
Communication and consultation with everyone affected at every stage are important elements to the UniQ development.
Local community consultation
UniQ community partner Sanctuary Housing is planning roadshows, exhibitions and public meetings to ensure anyone living, working or providing services in the South Shelton area has the opportunity to be fully involved in discussions about their home, street and neighbourhood. Regular consultation will mean that the aspirations of the community will influence every stage of the development in creating a better place to live, work and play.
