Cityheart is working with Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council to shape transformational new plans for Prescot shopping centre in the heart of the town centre. This complex regeneration project will involve the careful consolidation of an outdated shopping centre to make way for a new vibrant mix of uses and amenities which will contribute to the continued revitalisation of the town centre. Prescot has a fantastic close-knit network of local business and is home to Shakespeare North Playhouse which attracts visitors from all across the UK. It has bags of history and culture and huge potential. Cityheart and the Council are shaping plans with the needs of the community at the forefront and are about to begin consultation.
Out with the shopping trolleys, in with the tote bags. Cityheart and Knowsley are shaping plans for a vibrant new town centre with bags of life and character. New ideas, new opportunities and a new community in the heart of the town centre. A new place Prescot can be proud of. Public consultation will begin early 2026.
At the heart of the project
Modern retail and commercial space with opportunities for local business
New community services at the heart of the development
A new neighbourhood providing town centre living
New and improved public realm and town centre parking
