People will also be able to hear more about the progress of the town's regeneration and to share the ideas and ambitions for its future.

The chairman of the Featherstone Steering Group, Coun Kay Binnersley, said: "We are keen to hear from the public and their ideas for the future regeneration of the town, subject to resources becoming available, and it provides an opportunity for local residents and business owners to suggest ways in which we can improve project work in the area."

The projects include the Nine Lakes scheme, a huge country park and housing developments.
