A £2.8 million six-month conversion project is about to begin at the current Radcliffe Library building in Stand Lane, to turn the ground floor into Radcliffe’s new enterprise centre.
Funded by UK Government (£1.9m) and Bury Council (£900k), the enterprise centre will provide much needed flexible working space, along with meeting rooms and business support services. It will also help small businesses start up and grow.
The conversion will begin after a site compound has been established to support the contractor’s day-to-day operations.
Radcliffe Library will be open as usual on the first floor until the £40 million Radcliffe Hub, currently being built in Radcliffe town centre, is ready to move into after spring 2026.
For the period of the conversion works, parking at the library will be reduced to house the contractor’s site compound. However, a minimum of four spaces will be retained for on-site visitor parking. There will be two standard and two disabled parking bays.
