Major improvements are coming to Stalybridge with approved plans focusing on walking, events, and public spaces.
Now, the plan is moving forward rapidly. This project wants to help people walking around and hopes to make the squares look nicer.
Armentieres Square has a canal, and the plan makes it a key spot. They’ll build a stage for events, and new seats and trees will be added. Grosvenor Square may get a garden, and they plan better street lights there.
The square by Melbourne Street will get art. Murals will be painted on a wall, and businesses can use space on the street. Market Street and Waterloo Road will change.
Waterloo Road will become the main route. The one-way system will be extended, and access to Castle Street will be blocked. Market Street will gain a new entry, and new pavement and paths are planned.
It will be a welcoming place for walkers. The Old Town Hall Gardens have a plan, and it uses the site’s past for inspiration. A new stage is being planned, and better lights and a fountain are noted. They want to build community with this plan.
This plan shows off the town’s best. It uses the countryside and canals and adds parks, history, and landmarks. A nicer town may bring more visitors. It’s also part of a larger scheme, and it’s connected to £19.9 million funding. The Civic Hall roof will be fixed, and the art gallery and library will get help.
Stalybridge has many good things that can help the town center. This plan can make the town better. It makes Stalybridge a fun place. It can help local shops grow, and this can also make people healthier.
The plan links to Stalybridge West, and that area will see improvements too. It is near the Stalybridge train station. Eleven million pounds is secured, which will help build new things. It attracts money for new houses.
A bridge will go over the River Tame for walkers and cyclists and is near Caroline Street. A parking garage will be near Waterloo Street as well.
