'Right place at the right time': freeports model gives fillip to St Helens regeneration scheme.
Parkside project conceived almost a decade ago is among hundreds poised to benefit from tax cuts and other incentives.
Since the last shift at Parkside colliery in St Helens clocked off in 1993 and its two shafts were capped, nature has progressively taken over: scrubby silver birches have seeded themselves on the hardstanding all over the huge site alongside the M6, which once employed 2,000 local people.
But peer through the trees and the piles of fly-tipped junk this week and there were signs of life: bulldozers were busy working on a taxpayer-funded access road, to join this long-neglected site to the adjacent motorway.
It is the first stage of what St Helens council, which owns a 50/50 stake in the project with the local developer Langtree, hopes will be a 1 million sq ft distribution hub, and ultimately an even larger manufacturing centre, bringing potentially thousands of new jobs.

'Right place at the right time': freeports model gives fillip to St Helens regeneration scheme.
Parkside project conceived almost a decade ago is among hundreds poised to benefit from tax cuts and other incentives.
Since the last shift at Parkside colliery in St Helens clocked off in 1993 and its two shafts were capped, nature has progressively taken over: scrubby silver birches have seeded themselves on the hardstanding all over the huge site alongside the M6, which once employed 2,000 local people.
But peer through the trees and the piles of fly-tipped junk this week and there were signs of life: bulldozers were busy working on a taxpayer-funded access road, to join this long-neglected site to the adjacent motorway.
It is the first stage of what St Helens council, which owns a 50/50 stake in the project with the local developer Langtree, hopes will be a 1 million sq ft distribution hub, and ultimately an even larger manufacturing centre, bringing potentially thousands of new jobs.
A road under construction at Parkside, a joint venture between commercial property developers Langtree and St Helens Council, which aims to transform the derelict Parkside colliery site located on the south-eastern edge of Newton-le-Willows, into a new employment park. The development will form part of the Liverpool City Region Freeport, which was announced recently by the Conservative government.
