Location
The development site is located at the southern fringe of Wigan town centre being positioned adjacent main vehicular routes into the town. Within the Wigan Pier Quarter a recent focus has been the start of the redevelopment of two key schemes to include the Wigan Pier site for a small mixed use scheme and secondly
the Eckersley Mill complex for a larger mixed use scheme. Both these two developments represent a significant boost for the overall regeneration of the Wigan Pier Quarter with large scale residential, cultural and commercial elements aiming to be established over the coming years and providing significant economic boost for the area.
The subject site is situated in a highly accessible location within 10 minutes walk of both of Wigans train stations which offer circa 30 minute train travel times to both Manchester & Liverpool centres and a west coast mainline train service to London and Edinburgh. In addition to public transport services that the site benefits the site also has excellent active travel and walking connections with links to the canal towpaths for leisure, recreation and commuting alongside recent cycle lane provisions which connects the town centre to Robin Park.
