Multi-million pound proposals to transform Ashton-under-Lyne’s market square which include a huge new ‘feature canopy’ have been formally lodged.
Tameside council wants to regenerate the square by replacing the outside stalls and kiosks it says are currently plagued by anti-social behaviour.
Under the new proposals, the current fixed stalls and kiosks would be removed and replaced with a ‘large canopy’ which would allow space for ‘flexible units’ for traders, as well as for events and six kiosks, which would mostly be divided into two units.
