REDEVELOPMENT in Northwich town centre was on show at a recent conference in Manchester.

Cheshire West and Chester Council exhibited at Revo 2018, promoting retail and leisure opportunities at Barons Quay among other developments.

CWAC cabinet member for economic development and infrastructure, Cllr Brian Clarke, said before the event: “The exhibition will help us to build on the excellent leasing progress so far, for the newly developed Barons Quay in Northwich.

"H&M, Sports Direct and The Entertainer toy store are set to open over the coming months and advanced talks are underway with several other interested tenants.

“Joining ASDA, the Odeon and Wildwood restaurant the new lets will take the occupancy level up to 60 per cent.”

Completed in November 2017, Northwich’s Barons Quay is a riverside retail and leisure quarter being delivered by CWAC.

The council says that, with a population of 295,000 within a 25 minute drive time, and a higher than national average household spend in most retail categories, the development is set to attract more big brand names in the future.

Several independent boutiques have joined the town's award-nominated high street recently, and work is also underway to redevelop Weaver Square.

The area's masterplan sets out a vision to bring new residential development and a public services building to the area and also features a flexible, multi-use community space that could be used for live music and cultural events.

Enquiries for Barons Quay retail units are being managed by Rivington Land.
