The new civic hub building in Radcliffe will have no dedicated car parking spaces for visitors, councillors have heard. A planning application for the building, along with a redesign of the town’s market and the transformation of the Market Chambers and town square, is due to be lodged this month.
The new centre is set to house the town’s swimming pool, indoor sport and leisure, library, a café and health facilities. Possible parking solutions for people in vehicles visiting the centre, include placing time restrictions of a maximum two or three hour stay on existing public car parking.
Other measures being discussed include increasing on street parking and leasing some private car parking areas. Longer term plans for the town include ‘provision of a travel hub which would include multi-storey car parking along with facilities for sustainable transport infrastructure’.
