Bolton shopping centre plans gains positive local response
Plans to redevelop the Crompton Place Shopping Centre in Bolton are set to be submitted to the council following a positive response from a public consultation of local residents.
The project, which is being developed by Bolton Regeneration Limited – a partnership between Beijing Construction Engineering Group International (BCEGI) and Midia, has been given the working title of ‘Bolton Victoria Square’.
If plans go ahead, it will include an improved retail and dining experience, new pedestrian streets and public realm, new ‘A Grade’ office space, high quality homes and a hotel.
Steven Turner, director of Bolton regeneration Limited, said: “We received an overwhelmingly positive response from the public and believe this development meets the needs of the local community and visitors alike whilst stimulating long-term economic growth for the town centre and wider borough.”
Justin Cove, director at Hive Land and Planning added: “Bolton Victoria Square sits right in the heart of the town centre and aligns with the wider aspirations for the town and if approved it will completely transform Bolton. It is a huge investment into the local economy, creating new working, living and social spaces which will kick-start the regeneration of the town and build momentum for delivering long-term change.”
