Bury Council and nationwide placemaker Muse are working together to create a new beating heart for Prestwich Village that appeals to everyone. Together they have formed a Joint Venture, Prestwich Regeneration LLP, to advance the £100m+ regeneration of the Longfield Centre site.

The proposals are intended to cement Prestwich as one of the best places to live and spend time in the North West.

In January 2024, a hybrid planning application was submitted to the Local Planning Authority for consideration. It followed two extensive community conversations, with the submitted design shaped significantly by input from local residents.

The final plans include:

  • a community hub
  • a new village square
  • a market hall
  • flexible retail and leisure spaces
  • landscaped outdoor and green spaces
  • a new travel hub off Fairfax Road
  • around 200 homes

It is expected that a decision on the plans will be made in Summer 2024.
