A £3m boost to case for opening gateway to jobs
Heywood and Middleton Guardian
|December 11, 2025
A CONTRACT for nearly £3m has been awarded for a 'western access' project to pave the way for the massive Northern Gateway employment park.
An illustration of the Northern Gateway employment proposals
Bury council's cabinet this week allocated £2.83m to cover the finalising of an outline business case for the scheme.
In February this year, the council approved the appointment of Balfour Beatty UK as the western access scheme's main construction contractor.
The Northern Gateway project is set to become one of the largest employment hubs in the region, driving substantial investment and up to 10,000 jobs into Greater Manchester.
It also promises new homes straddling areas of Bury and Rochdale along the M60, M62 and M66 corridors.
