Kirkby

Kirkby has undergone a major transformation over the last few years thanks to the council’s multi-million investment to buy and expand the town centre offer.

Since that purchase, the Council has worked to deliver a 94,000 sq ft retail development – constructed in just under two years. Kirkby is now home to a Morrisons superstore, petrol filling station, large Home Bargains, drive-thru KFC and Taco Bell restaurants as well as PureGym. It also provides over 450 free parking spaces for visitors and has created jobs locally for 500 people.

Alongside the new additions, Kirkby Town Centre is also home to an array of established high-street shops and the undercover Kirkby Market with around 80 stalls (which has recently benefitted from a £50,000 makeover).
