The next phase of the Gorton town square investment project has begun, which will complete the high street investment project that was started last year
The latest phase will further extend the town square with a range of accessible play features for young people, more seating and planting – along with more colour to create an attractive space for local people to enjoy.
The extended space will also be adaptable to host events through the year
The new play features will offer something for ages two through to eleven, including balance beams, bumble bee springers, stepping pods, and a number of different spinning features for different age groups. A colourful and accessible snakes and ladders game will complete the investment, along with new planting and age-friendly benches.
The works to the town square are expected to be completed in the spring this year
Simultaneously, work is ongoing at the market hall where major repairs have been completed to the roof and new photovoltaic panels have been installed to improve the green credentials of the building.
Some businesses are being relocated elsewhere within the building to allow for further investment in the market, including creating a new food hall next to the raised terrace and improvements to existing units. Further updates will be made available in the coming weeks.
