Every Greater Manchester project getting Levelling Up cash in round two - as MP slams 'Hunger Games-style contest'
Wigan, Oldham, and Trafford have all been successful in bids to secure grants from a £2.1bn government pot. Some £672m was earmarked to develop better transport links, while £821m has been set aside to kick-start community regeneration, and £594m has been awarded to restore local heritage sites.
According to the Wigan council plans, a new world class dining experience, an underground bunker cinema, an art gallery for ‘Theodore Major’s visionary work’, and a rooftop terrace for astronomy are all set to become a reality. In addition to the ‘five floor masterplan’ to restore the hall itself, the derelict gateway lodges are set for a revamp as well.
Oldham Oldham has been given a £20m boost to create a 'Green Technology and Innovation Network'. The government has granted the cash to the borough with the aim of boosting the borough’s ambition to become a ‘top destination for green businesses’. Bosses say the learning centre will provide training linked to green and sustainable skills, supporting the Green Shoots Centre. It would also be used as an educational centre to help strengthen environmental skills through vocational courses. And a new path for pedestrians and cyclists, the ‘Oldham greenway’ will be created to link the Green Shoots Centre with Northern Roots and the new Jubilee Park being built in the town centre.
