The Glastonbury Town Deal has secured £23.6 million investment for the town, representing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver the objectives outlined in the Town Investment Plan
In order to support the renovation of the buildings within the Beckery Village, provision will be made for the non-bricks and mortar communities currently based in the area.
A new site will be created for non-bricks-and-mortar dwellers in Glastonbury.
The Beckery area on the edge of Glastonbury is currently being used as an unofficial base for communities of travellers and other off-grid dwellers. Much of Beckery will be regenerated thanks to the Glastonbury Town Deal funding. We are working to provide the non-bricks-and-mortar communities with a regulated site offering temporary and permanent solutions. The aim is to improve the situation for roadside dwellers.

This project previously contained an element to address phosphate mitigation in the vicinity of the Glastonbury Town Deal projects. This element is no longer part of the enabling project as solutions are not yet available and phosphate mitigation does now not apply to commercial developments.
