Genr8 Kajima Regeneration Limited (GKRL), in partnership with Knowsley Council, has launched a public consultation inviting residents, businesses, visitors, and community groups to share their views on the future transformation of Huyton Village.<\/p>\n
The consultation, which opens on\u00a0Monday 29 April, marks a significant milestone in the Huyton Village regeneration programme \u2013 part of Knowsley Council\u2019s wider 10-year development strategy. With the potential to create and retain up to\u00a01,700 jobs, boost village centre footfall, and generate\u00a0\u00a350 million\u00a0for the local economy, the regeneration project is seen as a legacy development that will shape the town for generations to come.<\/p>\n
Residents can get involved by attending one of two in-person drop-in events at Village Green, Derby Road, Huyton:<\/p>\n
The regeneration proposals include significant enhancements to the town centre, improved services and facilities, new residential developments, modern office accommodation, a revitalised leisure and retail offer \u2013 including a hotel \u2013 and a growing night-time economy. Plans also feature the creation of a new Village Green and a community hub at Cavendish Walk, which would incorporate a library and dedicated meeting spaces.<\/p>\n
Further proposals include transforming the existing multi-storey car park into a\u00a0modern travel hub, offering car and cycle parking, electric vehicle charging points, and enhanced security and lighting.<\/p>\n
The current consultation follows Knowsley Council\u2019s endorsement of\u00a0Phase 1\u00a0of the Huyton Village Centre Masterplan in November 2024. This phase includes the transformation of the Council\u2019s seven-acre civic site, known as\u00a0St Michael\u2019s Place. Subject to securing funding, the plans aim to deliver a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable future for Huyton Village.<\/p>\n
The public consultation will run from\u00a029 April until Tuesday 27 May, providing opportunities for individuals to review proposals, ask questions, and provide feedback that will shape the next stages of the masterplan.<\/p>\n
Mike Smith, Director at Genr8 Kajima Regeneration Limited, said:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAs we move forward, it\u2019s important that the voices of local people continue to shape how Huyton evolves. We are committed to being sensitive to the way the community already interacts with the village, and we want to ensure the plans reflect that. This consultation is an opportunity to listen carefully and work together to deliver a town centre that is both ambitious and rooted in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
