RESIDENTS in Halewood will notice a change to the skyline as demolition work is being completed ahead of the £16m regeneration of Raven Court.
Bulldozers have been on site to pull down the old buildings to make way for a new 48,000 sq ft scheme with a supermarket and a range of individual shopping units.
The regeneration scheme will include an Aldi supermarket, along with other well-known retailers including Tesco, Home Bargains, frozen food store Cooltrader and bookmakers William Hill.
A newsagent and a fish and chip takeaway are also relocating to the development, from the old centre, to be joined by a range of other smaller shops.
The plans also include a bus interchange facility, car parking and possibly a pub restaurant.
Cllr Dave Lonergan, Knowsley Council’s cabinet member for regeneration, economy and skills, said: “Seeing the site being cleared is another significant step forward in this project.”
