Deadline Approaches On Bolton's Church Wharf Consultation
The deadline for views on a £150 million development in Bolton's Church Wharf is fast approaching after two successful drop-in sessions.
Muse Developments proposes to build around 320 homes on the Canary Wharf site, located alongside the River Croal and between St Peters Way (A666), Bank Street, Manor Street and Folds Road.
The new homes will include townhouses and apartments, ranging from one to four bedrooms and aimed at young people, first-time buyers and families.
Further plans for the site include a new hotel, commercial offices and leisure and retail opportunities, such as a café, convenience store or bar/restaurant.
The development will help improve the area around the river, with plans also in place to construct a new footbridge linking the site to Bank Street.
Hundreds of local residents viewed the plans at the public sessions, as part of a consultation process.
Over 95% of visitors who completed feedback forms at the drop-in event said they agreed with plans to develop Church Wharf.
David Burkinshaw of Muse Developments said: "Having over 300 local residents come and engage with our consultation on Church Wharf is very encouraging.
"Church Wharf is a really important development for Bolton. It's the first site to come forward under the Council's ambitious town centre strategy and we are grateful for everyone who has shared their views on the proposals with us.
"The consultation period remains open, and I would encourage local residents who are yet to have their say on Church Wharf to provide feedback on the project website."
Councillor Ebrahim Adia, Deputy Leader of Bolton Council, added: "We are delighted with how the consultation has gone and the response from the community.
"This is the first major scheme in our masterplan where developers have revealed detailed proposals for the site.
"The Church Wharf plans will transform a key gateway into Bolton that needs attention and care, and we are backing the scheme through our wider £100m investment."
Local residents can still have their say on the consultation website.
The consultation will remain open until Friday 08 Februrary.
