Anglo Asbestos starts work on Leyland Market building

Following completion of the structural surveys, Anglo Asbestos will be on site removing asbestos from the Leyland Market building. Once the removal of Asbestos is complete, we will then move on to concluding the engineering designs.

The complete works will see the existing market hall refurbished while retaining the internal historic building and the long-term issues with the roof will be replaced with a new sustainable structure.

As you know we have already demolished the old Iddon’s factory on Quin Street and our contractors are currently on site preparing the ground ready for the start of construction of residential properties as part of the project.

In July we expect to start on work to the new public square and commercial developments which will be situated to the back of the Market building.

Lots of work has already been done as part of the £38 million investment programme and you will soon start to see a hub of activity around the area now that we are at this phase of the development.

More updates will be shared soon!
