Plans for the redevelopment of Prestwich centre include an indoor ‘Mackie Mayor’ style market hall and and village square. The £100m plan to redevelop the centre of the neighbourhood includes the demolition of the Longfield centre, replacing it with independent businesses; homes; outdoor areas; and a new community ‘hub’ focused on health.
Popular venue Mackie Mayor contains a range of independent businesses offering different styles of food and drink in a former market hall.
A recent public consultation conducted by Bury Council’s development partners Muse said that the project should take inspiration from Chorlton, Altrincham, Didsbury and Manchester city centre’s Mackie Mayor to provide a leisure focussed type of market hall.
