£16 million to boost Barrow’s regeneration
Almost £16 million from the Levelling Up Fund was allocated to Barrow. These funds will help continue the town’s regeneration.
Regeneration of the Market Hall
Plans for the funding include improvements to Barrow Market Hall.
These improvements include:
- providing better access to the market and Forum Theatre
- a more attractive exterior
- improvement to stall spaces
- a soft play area for children
- a new food hall
Improved connectivity in the town
Plans also feature improvements to Barrow’s transport infrastructure, such as:
- demolishing vacant buildings to create better links between the Market Hall and the high street
- upgrades to pedestrianisation
- creating new bus stops
The award from the Levelling Up Fund will build on the package of projects funded by the £25 million Town Deal for Barrow.
