The Penrith Market Town Initiative (MTI) was a community-led regeneration scheme for Penrith and the rural area it serves. Run by Penrith Partnership, it was part of a strategic and national programme supported in this region by the NWDA. During 2002, Penrith Partnership carried out a market town 'Healthcheck' to assess the area's strengths and weaknesses. Widespread consultation with local people and organisations was used to develop an MTI Action Plan for Penrith. It was funded by Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) until 31 March 2008 and supported by Cumbria County Council and ourselves. Its objectives have now been taken over by the Vitality of Penrith Group.

The study examined how the town is used by pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and commercial users and identified ways to improve the town centre and its open spaces.
