Ashton Levelling Up Fund
The £19.87m fund we received from the Government for Ashton-under-Lyne is being used to regenerate the town centre. We are working on our plans to improve the town centre and make it a place for everyone to live, work, and visit.
With additional cycle routes and cycle parking created, public realm improvements and traffic improvements integrated with the Bee Network encouraging sustainable travel.
There are three key projects underway:
- Walking, cycling and public realm improvements, including a refurbishment of the market square. The improvements to walking/cycling routes and public realm are being delivered alongside the council’s existing public realm capital programme and the Mayor’s Challenge Fund work in the town centre.

- Support for the restoration of Ashton Town Hall including essential repairs to the roof followed by a refurbishment/restoration scheme. Further internal restoration will then follow, subject to additional funding.
- The redevelopment of former interchange site – we aim to make it an attractive location for potential private sector investment, for a development that could include a mix of new homes, retail, leisure and commercial space.
