A vision for a transformed Bury town centre by redeveloping the Mill Gate Shopping Centre and the surrounding 15 acres to include less retail and more housing has been put forward. Bury Council has published an update to its strategy for the town centre shopping complex after it acquired the centre and wider estate alongside joint venture partner Bruntwood in April 2022.
A 300-page ‘draft strategic regeneration framework' will go before the public for their views if the authority’s cabinet gives the go ahead next week. The council describe the proposals as having “the potential to deliver one of the North West’s most ambitious regeneration projects”.
