A section of Buttermarket Street in Warrington town centre will be closed on November 6 for up to two days while the demolition work continues on the building which is being demolished to make way for a proposed 900 apartment development on part of the Cockhedge site.

The Order will be effective from 6th November 2022 for 2 days, as and when signed on site. Access will be under the control of the relevant Contractor for the duration of the works. The alternative route will be via Mersey Street, Bank Street and Academy Way and via Academy Street and Mersey Street. The closure is required to allow for the demolition of New Town House.
