Purpose

South Ribble Borough Council is prompting the transformation and improvement of Leyland Town Centre.
The aims are to create a new vibrant heart to the town and a business hub development incorporating workspace, events and skills including dedicated office accommodation.
Phase 1 of the scheme includes the relocation of an existing car park on Ecroyd Street and the construction of new dwellings.
These works are being pursued as part of a Section 278 agreement under the Highways Act 1980 associate with the Leyland Town Centre Improvement scheme.
