The regeneration of Churnet Works will create jobs for local people, add to Leeks’ existing shopping offer, cater to the growth of the community and improve the town’s capacity for business and trade.
The development will ensure Leek remains attractive and prosperous and continues to compete commercially with neighbouring towns.
The listed buildings along Macclesfield Road and Mill Street, as well as the bridge on Abbey Green Road, will be retained – with their settings enhanced by new landscaped areas on the proposed development site, including attractive river walks and green open spaces.
Sainsbury’s is committed to building stores that have a low impact on the environment and does this through intelligent design, sustainable sourcing of materials and efficient use of energy and resources.
Sainsbury’s has been named the UK’s greenest supermarket by a team of independent environmental analysts. We scored highly for our commitment to sustainability, packaging and the way we source our products. (The Grocer, September 2008)
