The council is due to sign off the demolition of the 1970s building next week, opening up a prime site in the town centre for residential development once staff relocate to Muse’s £142m Time Square.

Working with housing group Torus, Lane End has started work on a block of 144 apartments on the site of a former Kwik Save in Warrington, near the £142m development at Time Square.

The Leeds-based developer is bringing forward an aparthotel in a former post office at Palmyra Square, one of two schemes it has planned for the town centre.

After a previous application was refused last year, the company has resubmitted plans for a 630,000 sq ft, £73m national distribution centre on Green Belt land off the M56.

Extra MSA Group has outlined proposals to build a motorway services at Junction 11 of the M62 in a move that could create up to 250 permanent jobs.

Caddick Construction is due to start work next month on five industrial units totalling 170,000 sq ft at Birchwood Park.

Work is set to start in the coming weeks on one of the largest private-rented schemes in Warrington, featuring 362 apartments alongside 6,400 sq ft of retail, with Liverpool-based Nobles on board as main contractor.

Proposals to build 362 apartments alongside 6,400 sq ft of retail and a multi-storey car park are set to start on site after Ram Properties completed a £3m land sale to allow the project to go ahead.

Great Sankey's neighbourhood hub is on target to be fully open early next year after a troubled construction programme that has seen Warrington Council make more than 250 changes to the original scheme.
