Work on the development of Biddulph Town Hall frontage will start in February 2025 introducing a shared, same level space along the High Street to create a much more pedestrian friendly environment and calm traffic moving through the Town Centre.
Funding for the project has been secured from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund which is a central pillar of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda. The Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK by investing in communities and place, supporting local business and providing opportunities to boost people and skills.
The development of the frontage primarily involves plans to improve the area in front of the town hall by reconfiguring the current space by removing the existing railing to avoid clutter. The square will be designed as an extension of the existing green landscaped lawn with raised seating, with a particular focus on making the miners’ memorial wheel more prominent.
