Work begins at Luneside East with Partnership support

Work has started on the long-awaited redevelopment of the Luneside East site in Lancaster, which will create a new neighbourhood with homes and businesses at St George’s Quay.

The site will be developed into a mixed-use new neighbourhood providing homes, business space and high-quality landscaped areas, with provision for pedestrians and cyclists. The focus for the development will be the conversion and refurbishment of a large part of the St George’s works mill building on the quay.

Edwin Booth, chairman of the LEP, said: “We intend to use the Growing Places Fund to maximum effect, which first means identifying high quality schemes with clear benefits and helping them happen as quickly as possible.
