Steelwork up for town centre redevelopment

Known as the Leyland Town Deal, a major redevelopment scheme is progressing in the Lancashire town.

One of the project’s two main phases includes a new civic square and the refurbishment of the town’s market hall. Overlooking the square are two steel-framed structures; a commercial building and a mixed-use structure.

Working on behalf of Eric Wright Construction, Leach Structural Steelwork has fabricated, supplied and installed the steelwork for this phase.

Councillor Matthew Tomlinson, Leader of South Ribble Borough Council, said: “I’m extremely pleased with the progress being made on the Leyland Town Deal works. This is a truly transformative project for our town, and it’s something we’re immensely proud to be delivering for our communities.”

Steve Reid, Pre-Construction Director at Eric Wright Construction, commented: “We are proud to be working in partnership with our valued clients, South Ribble Borough Council and pleased to be delivering such important works that will not only boost the town centre economically but provide improved community facilities for years to come.”
