St Helens thinks even bigger with 90 projects announced

ST HELENS has unveiled its new 10-year development plan for 90 major projects costing more than £1.8bn.

Headline projects include a new St He-lens Rugby League Club stadium, Parkside Railfreight Distribution Centre, St Helens Campus redevelopment and a £6m Chamber headquarters.

The council revealed its revised plan last night after completing most of the original 70 projects ahead of schedule. St Helens Council leader Brian Spencer said: “The fact we have revised the original strategy after only five years is a reflection of our highly successful approach to regeneration.”

Finished projects in-clude the £90m redevel-opment of St Helens Hospital, £8m of office space at Mere Grange Business Park and the UK’s first essential oils and wildflower centre.
