Page "Chester" Paragraph 68

The Northgate Development project began in 2007 with the demolition of St. Martin's House on the city's ring road.

At a cost of £ 460 million, Chester City Council and developers ING hope to create a new quarter for Chester.

The development will see the demolition of the market hall, bus station, theatre and NCP car park.

In its place will be a new multi-storey car park, bus exchange, performing arts centre, library, homes, retail space and a department store which will be anchored by House of Fraser.
