SOCIAL ENTERPRISE ZONES

• Nicholson Road. The combination of international business, small local traders, housing association offices (and adjacent properties and land), post office, and extensive local authority land ownership already provides all of the ingredients for successful social enterprise. The current extension of the site offers a cue to bring stakeholders together around a common public purpose, better engaged with the surrounding community, and anticipating the new communities to come.

• Westridge. This out-of-town site will sit directly alongside the urban extension of Ryde and its existing mix of large retail, leisure attractions, local authority offices unused space is well positioned to evolve alongside the needs of its existing and growing community. The development of the museum stores into a new records and heritage centre is an ideal public catalyst for more ambitious social enterprise thinking in partnership with the Westridge businesses.
