About
Revitalising Kidsgrove town centre as a welcoming and successful place to live and invest.
Background
Kidsgrove is a dynamic and well-connected town, strategically located on the border of the Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Engine with easy access to the M6. The £16.9 million Town Deal will attract investment to capitalise on its location and heritage and leisure assets including the canal network, to create a desirable reputation as an attractive, welcoming, and successful town in which to live and invest.
The opportunity
Improving the flow and pedestrian connectivity between Kidsgrove’s key assets including the railway station, canal and town centre is a vital objective of the Town Investment Plan. It will ensure the station buildings and connections to the station, public sector services, areas of public realm and key pedestrian routes into the town are welcoming and attractive, promoting footfall, usage and improving services.
