An important resource for Leigh

Bridgewater Business Park represents an important resource for Leigh.

A number of significant benefits can be secured including:

• Significant financial assistance to enable the relocation of the primary school to a better site;
• Removal of the impact which the old industrial premises have on adjoining residential communities;
• Rationalisation and improvement of the traffic and transport arrangements in the area;
• Replacement of generally low density, low grade employment with high density, better quality units which would generate  approximately 500 jobs;
• Removal of the existing unattractive buildings on site and replacement with a higher quality of design, significantly upgrading the appearance along the Bridgewater Canal frontage and the site’s interface with the town centre;
• A range of housing types, broadening choice and providing good quality accommodation for those seeking to live close to Leigh Town Centre.
