Parkside Link Road

Parkside Link Road (PLR)

Background

The Parkside project is a joint venture between commercial property developers Langtree and St Helens Borough Council, transforming the derelict Parkside Colliery site located on the south-eastern edge of Newton-le-Willows, into a new employment park.

The new link road, funded by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, will help unlock the former Parkside Colliery site for development, delivering much-needed investment, jobs, infrastructure and training opportunities for residents and communities in Newton-le-Willows and the surrounding areas. This enhanced highway access between the M6 and local road networks and the new Parkside development will divert goods traffic away from the A49 and residential areas, improving connectivity for commuters and helping to lower local environmental concerns.
