PLANS have been proposed for an ambitious transformation of the Accrington Arndale that could see part of the centre demolished to make way for new homes. The proposals were lodged by Arndale owner the Jesta Group which believes this could be the best way to regenerate a town centre that has been struggling in recent years, with businesses hit particularly hard by the coronavirus pandemic. The firm wants a mix of housing and retail on the site and would like to redevelop remaining parts of the shopping centre.
Hyndburn Council said the company is a vital stakeholder and that working with them could be key to further plans to revive the town.
