Work underway on Lidl’s Bromborough site

The housebuilder has been granted planning permission to build 12 homes at Egerton Street in Sutton, aimed at people with particular needs or who have been homeless and wish to live independently.

Contractor GMI Construction has started building the 34,000 sq ft office block on Liverpool’s Tower Road South, a scheme now renamed ‘Hythe’ after the Old English for ‘a landing place or small harbour for ships or boats’.

The developer has received £2.05m from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority to help fund infrastructure works to progress its 240-unit residential development in St Helens.

Wirral NHS Foundation Trust has selected the contractor to build a 24,000 sq ft clinic in West Kirby, comprising 20 doctors’ consulting rooms and other facilities. 

Halton Council has approved plans for the 50,000 sq ft complex on Moor Lane, paving the way for contractor Wates Construction to start on site. 

A £1.4m redesign and refurbishment of the town centre market is to commence on Monday, to create a modern dining and events space.

The contractor has handed over the £7.7m St Helens Community Fire Station, its fourth project for Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service.

The company has been awarded an additional £9m contract to complete a residential development in Runcorn for housing associations Magenta Living and Onward Homes, after the collapse of the previous contractor. 

Developer Onward Homes will pay the North Wales contractor £5.5m to complete a 48-home scheme at Halton Court after the project stalled when its previous contractor Cruden Construction collapsed in July.
