Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council approved the 1 million sq ft scheme to convert the 15-acre Eckersley site bounded by the Leeds Liverpool Canal and River Douglas Eckersley site into a new mixed use urban village containing 300 new homes, commercial and cultural facilities, a new hotel, cafes and restaurants. Work is a mix of new- build and converting existing properties.
Some 1,050 construction jobs are expected to be created during construction of the scheme.
