Work is progressing at Swinton Precinct on the final phase of the Regeneration Programmce, as part of the Our Places Fund. This includes public realm upgrades to create a more welcoming and attractive area for everyone to enjoy.
The works, which will be completed in Autumn 2026, will bring:
A new pedestrian walkway linking the precinct to Station Street
New paving
A dedicated under-five's play space
Further improvements to enhance safety, accessibility and the overall look and feel of the town centre
The Library, Civic Hall, Honeypot Café, all shops and local businesses remain fully open and accessible throughout the works.
To ensure the works can be carried out safely, there will be some temporary changes to usual access routes:
There will be no general through-route via the precinct during construction
Businesses and the Civic Hall are still accessible from both the car park and Station Street
Access from the front of the library will be temporarily unavailable
The drop-off area at the turning circle will not be in use while improvements are underway
These upgrades mark the final step in the transformation of Swinton Precinct, following recent enhancements to the Civic Hall and the opening of a modern, new library.
