A proud heritage

Eccles’ story stretches back to the 14th century – a town built on community, craftsmanship and innovation.

As regeneration gathers pace and investment is secured, there’s a real opportunity to celebrate and enhance the heritage that makes Eccles special, ensuring its character and history inspire this bold new chapter.

About Eccles

A unique vision

The future of Eccles Town Centre is being shaped together with its community. In 2022, the Eccles Vision captured what mattered most to local people – the importance of creating a welcoming and vibrant town centre, celebrating its heritage, and strengthening connections for those who live, work, and visit here.

We’ve listened to what you’ve said and are now building on those ideas to explore how the town centre can grow and evolve. This stage of the process is about continuing the conversation – listening to local voices and working together to shape a masterplan that reflects shared priorities.

At its heart, the ambition is to put people first, ensuring Eccles evolves in a way that honours its character while creating new opportunities that the whole community can be proud of.
