Cheshire West and Chester Council will take control of the Northgate Development Project, after deciding to end its long-standing agreement with ING Real Estate Developers.
Executive members voted unanimously last week to end the partnership to redevelop Chester town centre, which was originally formed in 2000. ‘The council remains unequivocally committed to the scheme, but has sadly concluded that there is little likelihood of progress under the current arrangement,' said executive member for prosperity, Cllr Herbert Manley. ‘Consequently, the authority will shortly announce its own concept for the crucial redevelopment of this area of the city.'
