|July 05, 2025
A HUGE industrial space planned for Heywood could bring more than 500 jobs to the area.
The new 500,000 sq ft industrial and logistics site would be built at Heywood Distribution Park, close to Junction 19 of the M62 and Junction 3 of the M66.
Indurent, the company behind the proposal, says the location is strategically important due to its excellent transport links and direct access to the north west and Yorkshire.
