Plans for a £50 million transformation of Farnworth's market precinct, which will put the town on the map, have been formally submitted to Bolton Council. The project is lead by Capital and Centric who propose to build around 220 new homes and 3,200 square meters of commercial space that they say will transform the town with new leisure, commercial, and cultural space. Within this will be cafes, a 'mini-cinema', gym and spaces for the local community to create events and clubs. A new park connecting the new site and Farnworth Central Park is also part of the plans. This formal submission of the plans follows a public consultation with the community where over 84 per cent of residents expressed their support for the new vision to develop the market precinct.
