Another L&L marina

BRITISH Waterways Marinas Ltd (BWML) is to develop Pennington Wharf Marina on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Leigh.

The marina will provide 58 moorings, and forms part of the redevelopment of the area by Taylor Wimpey, that will include 471 new homes, a community centre, café, pub and a convenience retail store on Plank Lane.

Open in September

The works are due to commence in mid-summer, with the marina scheduled to open in September 2016. The works will be undertaken through contractors of Intermarine and Rolec Services.

Darren Bramhall, Operations Director for BWML stated:

"We are pleased to be working with both the HCA and Taylor Wimpey, who are managing the wider redevelopment of the site, to develop a well-designed marina with a good range of modern marine facilities and to establish the moorers as part of the new community being created. The marina is in an ideal location, and we have already received a lot of interest from those who are keen to join BWML at our new marina."
