What is the project?

Following demolition of the former library and car park in late 2023, works advanced in 2024 on the construction of a new and attractive pedestrian link between the Lifestyle Centre, Memorial Square and the Market Hall. This is an important and central location in the civic and cultural area of the town, providing a quality new focal point for the town centre.

This development, which includes a new two-storey entrance to the Magistrates’ Courts, and a new short-stay car park, will complete in March.

The project will also provide the new and attractive setting for one of two new history centres in Cheshire. These new facilities will co-host the county’s extensive archives, transform the way the archives service works and open up the collections to a whole new audience.

This is a shared project between Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West and Chester Councils. Work in Crewe recently got underway and will complete in 2026.
