Bury Council have agreed to sell the derelict site to a care provider with plans to build accommodation for 80 people
Two three-storey care homes are set to be built on the site of the former police station in Bury town centre. The Irwell Street building has been vacant since 2016 and demolition began in 2018.
The council said the phased development could create up to 100 jobs, and the buildings, likely to be three storeys high, would cause less overshadowing for nearby residents than the old six-storey police headquarters did. The move is set to be approved by members of the council’s cabinet when it meets on June 12.
