Northwich Mines Project
|
In July 2002, English Partnerships approved a grant of £28 million for the stabilisation of the four abandoned rock salt mines under Northwich town centre. The grant secured the future of the town and enabled innovative regeneration plans to move forward.
These plans include the:
- Regeneration of the town capitalising on the opportunities presented by the stabilisation of the mines
- Incorporating the waterfront into redevelopment
- Unlocking third party funding opportunities
- Creating a more attractive environment for future private sector investment

Mines infrastructure work commenced in January 2004 and the infilling of all the mines was completed in July 2007. There is more information about this award winning project in A World First - The Northwich salt mines stabilisation project booklet (PDF format).
