SOCIAL ENTERPRISE ZONES

• Appley and Puckpool. The combination of Appley Tower, Puckpool Park, Appley Park and the Harcourt development between, provides an important eastern anchor point for Ryde’s regeneration, linking into the urban extension to come. The mix of disused and underutilised built and open spaces opens opportunities for a focussed social enterprise approach to this zone.

• Rink Road and Monkton Street. With its distinctive combination of small industrial parks, dense residential estate and ‘village’ streetscape and public realm, this zone has all the characteristics of an urban quarter. A partnership between county and town councils might consider local measures for promoting and potentially leading on mixed-use redevelopment and affordable workspace initiatives.
