Once complete, this modern and energy efficient building will be a new home for a range of important public services including; community safety and crime prevention, housing support, employment, skills and learning guidance, welfare and benefits support, and health and wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bringing these services together, next to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/chester-hosts-transport-decision\/52286\/\">new bus zone<\/a>, the market and all of the shops will also be good for the town centre and will hopefully make life easier for local residents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThank you to the residents that dropped in to see the plans during the exhibition last month, the project team were really pleased with the responses. The plans can still be viewed in the Council offices, library and Sports Village. This adds to the wider consultation about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/modular-construction-news\/modular-homes-factory-ellesmere-port\/54150\/\">future of Ellesmere Port<\/a> which took place last autumn.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Half of the \u00a316m project is being funded by the government\u2019s Local Growth Fund, through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.871candwep.co.uk\/\">Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Christine Gaskell CBE DL, chair of Cheshire and Warrington local enterprise partnership said: \u201cThis investment of \u00a38.3m Local Growth Funding in to the town centre comes on top of three other significant investments by the LEP in Ellesmere Port this year. Our investments at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hootonparktrust.co.uk\/\">Hooton Park<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newport.gov.uk\/en\/Business\/Business-news\/Business-news-events.aspx\">Newport Business Park<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legatowen.co.uk\/property\/phase-2-helix-business-park-newbridge-road-ellesmere-port\/\">Helix Business Park<\/a> have secured another \u00a320m of private sector investment, all of which are on site now\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Masterplan found the existing bus station to be larger than it needed to be and proposed that Civic Way is used as an \u2018on-street\u2019 facility with new passenger stops along its length. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Masterplan also includes the future demolition of the existing Civic Way Offices, which will be replaced on the upper floors of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/mace-hmrc-government-hub\/59307\/\">hub building<\/a>, providing the most cost effective solution to the provision of council services in the town and to the wider borough because of the higher costs of refurbishing the existing buildings. This space will then be made available for new housing for families and young professionals to live in the town.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Subject to planning consent in September, work is scheduled to start as early as October for a 2021 opening. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Council&#8217;s 15 year vision for Ellesmere Port has seen development projects totalling nearly \u00a31.2bn since 2011; which is forecast to rise to \u00a32.8bn. Over 2,000 jobs have been created and Ellesmere Port has planning consent for 5,550 homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Masterplan to transform the Ellesmere Port town centre has reached a key stage with plans\u00a0submitted for a new services hub and bus zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[676,997,882,656,669,592,280],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-59321","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-development","9":"tag-employment","10":"tag-housing","11":"tag-regeneration","12":"tag-skills","13":"tag-transport"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New public services hub to transform Ellesmere Port<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Masterplan to transform the Ellesmere Port town centre has reached a key stage with plans\u00a0submitted for a new services hub and bus zone\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/transform-ellesmere-port\/59321\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New public services hub to transform Ellesmere Port\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Masterplan to transform the Ellesmere Port town centre has reached a key stage with plans\u00a0submitted for a new services hub and bus zone\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/transform-ellesmere-port\/59321\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
