A NORTH West HS2 report to Cheshire East Council states that Middlewich will be part of a ‘development corridor’ created by the super hub station.


Economic assessments have concluded that up to 64,000 jobs could be created as businesses flock to take advantage of locating less than an hour away from London.


Middlewich was named as one of several towns to be in line to contribute to employment and housing.


The report stated: “Middlewich will contribute towards employment sites and housing and benefit from new road and rail links providing regenerated town centres, greater prosperity and improved quality of life to residents.


“Links between the station and the M6 via local ‘A’ roads are going to be vital to commuters and businesses accessing HS2 from the broader sub-region if the benefits of this highly connected location are going to be maximised.”
