Cityheart<\/a> and BCEGI<\/a> have been given the green light for the \u00a3135m redevelopment of Galleries Shopping Centre in Wigan town centre<\/h2>\n

The redevelopment of the Galleries Shopping Centre includes detailed and outline proposals<\/a> covering an array of leisure facilities such as a multimedia centre, which will be home to a multi-screen cinema, a ten-lane bowling alley, new food and drink outlets, multi-purpose venue and indoor mini golf.<\/p>\n

A purpose-built pavilion off Market Street will provide new food and drink establishments and evening entertainment.<\/p>\n

A new, more centrally located market hall will be delivered, which will include traditional market stalls, new retail units, co-working spaces, small offices and a contemporary vibrant food hall.<\/p>\n

The plans also include a new hotel and 464 new homes ranging from one-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom townhouses and retirement living.<\/p>\n

The hybrid planning application was submitted jointly by Cityheart and Wigan Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Rejuvenate the heart of Wigan\u2019<\/h3>\n

Warren Taylor, director of Cityheart, commented:\u00a0\u201cWe are delighted to have secured planning permission for this important scheme, which will help to significantly rejuvenate the heart of Wigan town centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy working with the our appointed contractor, BCEGi, Wigan Council and the local community, we look forward to realising our vision and delivering a vibrant new destination for the town centre with green outdoor spaces and stunning buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis scheme will not only attract new visitors to the area but will also create an engaging community, breathing new life into the area and bringing with it long-lasting social and economic benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leader of Wigan Council, councillor David Molyneux, said: \u201cThe plan for the\u00a0Galleries very much reflects the feedback we got from residents about the importance of vibrant town centres during the Big Listening Project in 2018 and more recent consultations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u00a0will continue to\u00a0work with existing businesses in the town centre to manage any disruption during the construction and will continue to work together to ensure their views are heard and taken on board.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow more than ever it\u2019s vital we do everything we can to create exciting and welcoming town centres to help support our local businesses and jobs. These plans do just that and I certainly can\u2019t wait to see them materialise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Work is due to start on site in January next year.<\/p>\n

Over 600 full time equivalent jobs will be created once the site is operational and further jobs and apprenticeships will be created during the construction stage.<\/p>\n
