Cheshire East to consider £48m Royal Arcade plan

National Highways said global materials shortages caused by the Covid-19 pandemic had led to the three-month delay on the Cheshire project.

The £300m contract will follow that awarded to Kier Construction last week to deliver highways and utility work on the Birmingham to Crewe leg of the high speed rail project.

Cheshire West & Chester Council hopes to secure consent this autumn and start on site early in 2022 on the town centre’s redevelopment, as it seeks input to shape the final designs.

Take part in the fourth Vertical Salary Review of North West property and construction professionals to receive early access to the findings and be entered into a draw to win a pass to a year of events, including the sold-out Place Party.

Part of the roof at Northwich railway station collapsed yesterday, causing disruption to rail services expected to last through much of today.

The £90m highways project has been opened to traffic following its completion by contractor Graham.

From 24 June, Place North West will be bringing property people back together again at conferences, social gatherings and debates.

Political leaders from Liverpool City Region, Warrington, and Cheshire West & Chester have combined to condemn part of the Northern Powerhouse Rail proposal it says would “short-change” the region.

Work can officially start on the first Northern leg of the UK’s high speed rail project after the proposals were enshrined in law on Thursday.
