Developer lined up for Wigan Pier revamp

THE canalside Wigan Pier Quarter development is to be brought forward by developer H2O Urban.

The town's council has agreed a 10-year masterplan for the site with the Canal and River Trust, which manages the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and H20 Urban, a joint venture between London and Cheadle Hulme-based developer bloc and the trust.

The scheme involves a marina with berths for overnight mooring, housing and a 1,200-seat venue. The Wigan Pier nightclub building has been cleared to make way for a park.
