Knowsley Council has a 10-year development plan Huyton, with improvements to the high street and station gateway area as well as the creation of a new commercial district.
The 拢130m plans, drawn up by architect Allies & Morrison, envisage a mixed-use commercial district on the council鈥檚 current seven-acre site in Huyton, including a new civic office, set around a new 鈥榲illage green鈥�. The programme comprises 53 separate projects for phased delivery over the next decade.
The council is bidding for 拢20m from the government鈥檚 Levelling Up Fund to support the plans.
Cllr Tony Brennan, cabinet member for regeneration and economic development, said: 鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to be working with Genr8 Kajima Regeneration Limited. They have a successful track record of delivery and they will help us to accelerate our development plans for Huyton. We are working hard on our Round 2 Levelling Up Funding bid which would really support us to kick-start our development plans.鈥�
Genr8 Kajima Regeneration has already delivered more than 拢100m of town centre regeneration, including Rochdale Riverside (a 200,000 sq ft retail and leisure scheme).聽 It is also nearing completion of the 拢200m Smithfield mixed use development in Stoke.
