Description

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), working with Wigan and Bolton Councils, is seeking a consultant to provide a strategic and economic study of GM's Wigan and Bolton Growth Corridor.

Greater Manchester has a strategic and spatial approach to priority infrastructure delivery and investement, in order to maximise economic growth across the conurbation. Through this approach, GM seeks to prioritise and sequence the investment needed to bring forward strategic growth propositions in a coherent way which supports GM's engagement with Government over future funding agreements and also connecting project delivery with broader placemaking and economic growth.

The Wigan and Bolton Growth Corridor is one of six growth locations identified within the city region which represent opportunities for the whole region to bring forward development at scale that can drive the transformational change we want to see in GM.

The development of the Wigan & Bolton Growth Corridor will provide radial transport infrastructure across Wigan and Bolton, which will enable wider regeneration and economic growth ambitions to be realised. The development of a quality bus corridor, motorway link road and enhanced rail, will connect residents to employment and skills opportunities within the Boroughs and across Greater Manchester.

In line with residents needs and aspirations, c.12,000 new quality homes will be created. These will include family homes and will be delivered across the distinctive communities with access to green space. Building on the corridor's existing strengths and strategic transport links, employment growth will be driven by logistics, manufacturing (notably food) and distribution.
