Shoppers at Bury’s Mill Gate centre have welcomed the news the council could be about to revamp the 15-acre site.
Yesterday, the authority announced it had completed a deal to buy the shopping complex for an undisclosed fee from a firm called InfraRed. It will also team up with developers Bruntwood to make improvements to the centre.
Those improvements will be for “new residential, leisure uses”, a council report says. Today (March 23), the Manchester Evening News visited the sprawling retail paradise to see how regular visitors reacted to the purchase.
