High Peak Borough Council’s initial proposals included:
- Improving the pedestrian route to and from the railway station
- Increasing residential and office use in the town centre – especially on the upper floors of buildings
- Increasing leisure, food and drink uses, pop-ups and shared spaces
High Peak MP Robert Largan has welcomed the funding and thanked Councillors Tony Kemp and Linda Grooby for their involvement in helping to secure it.
- Modernising infrastructure to include smart parking, electric vehicle charging and cycle interchange.
The plans included building a new pedestrian street from the train station and a new public square, as well as hopes for new leisure attractions such as a cinema, gym and family restaurants and developing a new multi-level car park behind The Springs.
