A large area of Radcliffe town centre is set to be demolished to make way for a new civic hub building containing a swimming pools, a leisure centre, café and library. A planning application for the long awaited plans for the partial redevelopment of the town centre was published by Bury Council on Friday.
The shopping plaza at 13-21 Blackburn Street and the TSB bank building would be demolished as part of the plans. The plans also include refurbishment of the Market Chambers building and the next door Market Hall basement, for use as a multi-use event space.
Much of the money for the development has come from the award of £20m to the project from the Levelling Up fund in early 2022. The new three-storey civic hub building will be built between Dale Street and Radcliffe Market.
