for town

DEVELOPERS say that the proposed Winnington Urban Village will inject a massive amount of investment into the local economy if it goes ahead.

Brunner Mond, one of the joint owners of the proposed site, has invested more than £200 million in their Northwich sites in the past 10 years.

The company believes that to continue this level of investment and to maintain the company's position as a world leader in a highly competitive industry they must generate capital income by selling off derelict land.

The developers also claim that the new homes and employment opportunities on the site represent a potential £120 million investment in the town and will inject £13.4million new spending power.

This is being heralded as one way to attract large businesses and traders into the town, which is one of the aims of Northwich Vision.
