Alderley Park will remain flagship bioscience location
Manchester Science Parks takes over former AstraZeneca site
A long chapter in the UK s pharmaceutical history came to a close yesterday with the sale of AstraZeneca s 400-acre Alderley Park site in Cheshire.
The new owners of the site - Manchester Science Parks (MSP) - have pledged to maintain and expand Alderley Park as a leading UK incubator for life sciences businesses.
MSP will build on Alderley Park s heritage of scientific innovation, said AZ in a statement. The company said last year that it planned to cut about 1,600 jobs as part of an overhaul of its R&D operations, with 600 jobs lost in Cheshire, and would also relocate its global corporate headquarters to Cambridge by 2016.
AN EXPERT panel is calling for local residents and businesses to give their views for a review into Lancashire s economic future. The Indepedent Economic Review has been commissioned by Lancashire County Council, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, Blackpool Council and the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership to create an up-to-date picture of the local economy in the wake of the coronavirus crisis and raise awareness about what the county needs in order to recover. Now, the panel has issued a call for evidence with individuals, communities, businesses, and representative organisations being asked to help the panel deepen their understanding of the Lancashire economy by answering a number of key questions.
