Site works are ongoing at the site of the new £40m Radcliffe Hub, paving the way for a new town centre and enhanced public services.
The frame for the Hub is currently being erected, bringing us another step closer to revitalising the area and creating a vibrant, modern community space.
Radcliffe Hub won’t just be a brand-new building, it’s going to be the heart of a thriving, active Radcliffe.
Town centre businesses
Radcliffe Market will be open throughout the duration of the work and other town centre businesses will be trading as usual too. Please show your local traders your support - eat, drink, shop local.
