The public are to be asked for their views on £100m plans to develop ‘a new community heart’ for Prestwich.
The proposals for Prestwich village, centred on the Longfield Centre area, are to be the subject of a ‘Spring community conversation’ organised by developers Muse, who are in partnership with Bury Council to deliver the project. Muse and the council agreed to enter into a joint venture in late 2021 to drive the project forward.
They are now working together on a vision to redevelop the centre, with new spaces planned for independent businesses, alongside a mix of homes, outdoor spaces and a new community hub focused on health and wellbeing. While the plans are still at an early stage, Muse said key ambitions for the £100m scheme included ‘creating an inclusive place that champions Prestwich’s community spirit’ with ‘sustainable buildings, walking and cycling routes and inviting public spaces’.
