Proposals for Ashton include improved shop fronts, upgraded streets and public spaces, new walking and cycling routes and a refresh for the town’s market square
Ashton-in-Makerfield will receive a huge cash boost after it was announced in the Spring Budget that the town has been awarded £6.6 million in funding.
This would include the introduction of greenery and lights along Garswood Street and Gerard Street. Other improvements include infrastructure upgrades to Old Road and Wigan Road which aim to reduce traffic movements in the residential area through a series of active neighbourhood measures, crossing facility upgrades and connection improvements.
“Ashton in Makerfield will now receive nearly £7m in funding to improve the town centre, funding which has been long overdue. Our town will continue to punch above its weight and work towards being the most prosperous and vibrant town centre in the area. Leader of Wigan Council, Councillor David Molyneux MBE, said: “We were disappointed we were unsuccessful in our LUF bid for this project as we believed the application was strong, exciting and achievable, which prompted our pledge to submit a further bid. Although our concerns about the levelling-up agenda remain, we welcome this funding announcement that will help us move forward with our plans.”
