Construction Trends in Staffordshire Moorlands

Leek town centre is midway through a 17.1 million pound Levelling Up Fund programme, with the Butter and Trestle Markets already reopened, a rebuild of the MyActive Leek leisure centre at Brough Park underway, and a 3.8 million pound restoration of the Grade II* listed Nicholson Institute progressing toward completion. The district's adopted Local Plan directs most new housing toward Leek, Biddulph and Cheadle. Away from these town centre schemes, established villages keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
