Infrastructure levy starts in 2027

A new infrastructure contributions system begins in 2027 to help fund roads, parks, transport and community facilities in the Preston centre. How much it will raise, and what it will fund first, has not been published.

Those details will matter as the area plans for more housing. The questions are practical: which improvements will receive funding, when will they arrive, and how will priorities be set?

The levy is one part of the wider growth story. Future updates should make clearer how contributions will translate into facilities and improvements people can use.
