Huge plans to transform Bury Market with the creation of multi-million pound ‘flexi-hall’ and and a new roof have been given the green light.
Under the proposals lodged by Bury council, the existing buildings on Murray Road, 47–51 Market Street and 2-10 Princess Parade will be demolished to build a new £20m flexible events hall.
This would ‘create a focal point and would act as a gateway feature to Bury town centre’, bosses say. The three-storey ‘flexi-hall’ in the western part of the site will contain two floors, constructed from brick and timber and accessed from Murray Road.
It would be used for conferences, meetings and training, banquets, awards dinners, drinks receptions, small trade exhibitions, public exhibitions, weddings, private parties and Christmas parties.
