What Huyton Village could look like after redevelopment works

The Huyton Village regeneration project has received a significant boost with a £2m investment from Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram's office. This funding forms part of the ambitious £163m Huyton Village scheme, which is set to bring numerous economic and social benefits to the town centre and wider Knowsley area.

The plans aim to revitalise Huyton's town centre by introducing a blend of leisure, retail, residential, and office spaces. The initial phase will concentrate on creating 72 affordable homes, a 130-bed hotel, commercial office space, a community hub and library.

The proposal includes the demolition of old council buildings, freeing up nearly seven acres of land for future development. The Huyton Village project is projected to generate £62m for the local economy and will continue to evolve, according to the Metro Mayor's office.
