crewe to get funding boost for regeneration of town

Crewe is to benefit from a 22.9 million pounds funding boost after being announced as one of the latest UK towns to successfully secure a ‘Town Deal’.

The announcement, made by government, paves the way for partners in the town to deliver a package of projects that’ll help to support the ongoing regeneration of the town.

These will include plans for ‘Lyceum Powerhouse’ – a new music venue and creative production facilities, which will deliver skills and development opportunities and provide space for a new generation of creative enterprises in the cultural industries.

Also included will be plans led by the Always Ahead charity to transform the former Flag Lane Baths into a community hub, while preserving the building’s heritage.
