How £6.9m hub will change thousands of lives in Warrington CONSTRUCTION is now under way on Warrington Youth Zone. Builders have moved onto the Foundry Street site in the past two weeks and with the land secured and hoardings in place, the diggers are now moving in. Over the next 12 months, the state-of-the-art £6.9million facility will gradually rise from the ground before the doors open to thousands of young people. It will build upon the historic legacy set by Warrington Youth Club, which currently operates out of The Peace Centre and will move its services to the new facility. The youth zone is being developed by the national charity OnSide Youth Zones, and will be the charity’s 12th newly-built facility. Warrington Youth Zone will be run as an independent charity within the ever-growing OnSide network, with Mark Brocklehurst – managing director, Sharples Group Ltd – chairing a board of local trustees.
