Wingates Employment Site
Wingates is a strategic employment hub in Westhoughton, Bolton which could create up to 6,000 new jobs over the next 10-15 years. The site is located to the south of the A6 Chorley Road and to the west of the Wingates Industrial Estate, close to Junction 6 of the M61.
The site already has planning consent for 1.1 million sq ft of logistics and manufacturing space, with work due to start later this year to deliver the first phase of up to 1,500 new jobs. It is also allocated under the recently adopted Places for Everyone – Greater Manchester Spatial Plan – as a location to deliver a further 3.6 million sq ft of employment space.
Before we start construction of the employment buildings, we are creating an ecological enhancement area to provide new habitats for wildlife. You can find out more about construction activities on site here.
In 2023 our plans to realign a short stretch of the A6 Chorley Road to provide a new, improved and dedicated access to the Wingates employment site were approved. You can find out more about existing and future planning applications for the site here.
