A former multi-storey car park is set to be transformed into a "vibrant city-style hub" after planning permission was granted.
Situated on the former Chalon Way multi-storey carpark in Foundry Street in St Helens, the £1m investment project will see 51 containers created, as well as outdoor cinema screens. Known as 'The Foundry', the leisure hub will have a stage and outdoor seating areas to provide business start-up, retail, and leisure units for independent businesses.
The plans are said to be a "great new venue" for the town and developers say they will create around 100 full-time jobs as well as other opportunities for young people. The project, delivered by Steel Life Group Ltd, complements the Imperial Quarter which is set to open this summer.
