Ashton-under-Lyne is undergoing a major transformation thanks to nearly £20 million from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund.
This investment is designed to revitalise the town centre, attract visitors, and create new opportunities for residents and businesses across Tameside.
Raeesah Dudhwala, Solicitor in our Commercial Property team at Bromleys, outlines expert advice and guidance for businesses, investors, and property owners looking to make the most of the exciting regeneration projects in Ashton-under-Lyne.
What projects are included in Ashton-under-Lyne’s regeneration?
The Levelling Up Fund is supporting several key developments:
- Ashton Town Hall: Essential restoration works, including roof and stone repairs, to protect this historic landmark.
- Market Square: A complete redesign with a large canopy, new kiosks, and improved public spaces to boost footfall and create a vibrant hub for traders and events.
- Former Bus Interchange Site: Plans for a mixed-use development featuring new homes, retail, and leisure facilities.
- Sustainable Travel: New cycle routes and parking to improve connectivity and support the Bee Network.
These projects aim to make Ashton-under-Lyne a more attractive, accessible, and sustainable town centre.
How will this impact local businesses and property owners?
The regeneration will create prime opportunities for businesses looking to secure retail or leisure space in a revitalised Market Square.
With improved public realm and increased visitor numbers, Ashton is set to become a stronger commercial destination.
For property investors and developers, the former bus station site and surrounding plots present significant potential for mixed-use schemes, including residential units and ground-floor retail. Improved infrastructure and connectivity will also enhance long-term property values.
What does this mean for homebuyers in Ashton-under-Lyne?
As new housing developments come forward, buyers will have access to modern homes in a well-connected town centre.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to invest in a buy-to-let property, Ashton’s regeneration could offer excellent opportunities.
