It's all change in Wigan
The future of Wigan’s town centre street scene is on the line next week as the Galleries redevelopment will be decided by the Planning Committee.
This £135 million proposal has been subject to criticism from both councillors and residents alike, with the view that the cost is too much during a cost of living crisis which culminated in a 4.99 per cent council tax rise in Spring. Coun James Watson spoke out against the project back in February when the council were discussing the budget.
“That is where we hope interest rates will start to decline and fall again. We hope that by the time it comes to the building stage of the project prices may well have come down and that might bring it to within £130 million. In the long-term, there are still multiple phases of the project yet to come. CityHeart, the developer working alongside the Council on this, are promising 483 homes across seven new residential buildings; a 144-bedroom hotel; a retirement living complex; a new market hall and food court as well as new landscaped areas of public realm including a public square for events and performances.
The new market hall will be the first building to be completed, targeted for late 2024, according to the council.
