This site will be redeveloped into a new state of the art retail and leisure destination in the core of town centre’ and civic quarter. In 2018, the Council purchased Crompton Place Shopping Centre to redevelop Bolton Victoria Square.

Progress to Date

The £175m scheme offers an abundance of opportunity to re-energise and refresh the town centre and improving connections and pedestrian flow to the surrounding areas. The development is set to bring revitalisation for the area as well as real long-term benefits for the people of Bolton.

Bolton Council, with the support of local MPs, has submitted two bids to the first round of the government’s Levelling Up Fund.  If successful, one of the bids could secure £16.2m towards the ongoing redevelopment of Crompton Place.

The money would be used towards the demolition and redevelopment of the west side of the building, creating new employment space to bring professional service jobs and greater footfall into the town centre. Find out more.

Development Principles

  • Improve connectivity
    A link between two key sites to the north of the site will promote greater footfall and ease of access.

  • Reconfigure existing buildings to make the most of assets
    For example, by locating restaurants in upper floors and changing façades, it could have a transformative effect allowing visitors to overlook the many events taking place at Victoria Square (Bolton’s principal public square).

  • Open the door to a wider range of uses
    large vacant units could be utilised for workshops, teaching spaces and leisure uses.
