A WARRINGTON company has been appointed to deliver a £5.36 million apartment development.

Caddick Construction (NW) Ltd, based on Trident Business Park in Risley, will be constructing a four-storey 40-apartment scheme.

The affordable housing scheme, at the Railway Arches on Chapel Street in Leigh, will consist of 36 one-bedroom and four two-bedroomed homes.

It will also have on-site car and cycle parking bays as well as electric vehicle charging points for residents.

The Design and Build contract includes superstructure works, service infrastructure, roads and drainage, as well as attractive landscaping features.

Ian Threadold, managing director at Caddick Construction (NW) Ltd, said: “We are using the team’s extensive experience to deliver this apartment development on behalf of Wigan Borough Council.

“The site is close to Leigh town centre and has lots of infrastructure challenges due to its former uses.

“It sits within the conservation area and is architecturally well-detailed, so it will be a striking building which stands proud in this area of Leigh.”

As part of its commitment to the local economy, Caddick Construction will create jobs, work placements, and training and development opportunities through apprenticeships and traineeships.

The development is set to complete in spring 2024. It was designed by north west-based AFL Architects.
