Leigh town hall AMBITIOUS plans to improve connectivity, build new housing and drive investment into Leigh are underway. After the COVID-19 pandemic led to a temporary pause, the council has made progress on developing the next phase of the £5m Believe in Leigh project, with some schemes already taking shape. In addition to themes identified by the public, including Leigh Market improvement, youth provision and better safety measures, the council is also placing a heavy focus on improving walking and cycling facilities as well as developing vacant and underused sites. And, next month, the local authority will consult on a Leigh town centre Strategic Regeneration Framework, outlining a long-term vision for the town centre.
