CHORLEY’S Youth Zone, Inspire, is moving closer to completion....12 months after construction began.

As the overall look of the building transforms, excitement and enthusiasm grow, as nearly 200 young people sign up to become members.

Inspire Youth Zone on Chapel Street, is a £4.8million facility, designed and built especially for young people from Chorley and the surrounding areas.

Janine Blythe, Chief Executive at Chorley Youth Zone said “The building looks absolutely fantastic and promises to be an incredible facility, the likes of which Chorley’s young people have never seen!

“The response from the community has been brilliant, not only have we had almost 200 young people register to become members, but we are seeing more and more local people register to become volunteers – Chorley Youth Zone is shaping up to be an inspirational place for both young people and adults!”

It will be be open seven-days a week, the Youth Zone will provide a safe and inspirational place for young people to try fun and engaging activities, meet new friends and develop their interests, resulting in healthier, happier young people.

Construction on site is progressing well and is on track to be completed by April 2018.

Externally the building is watertight, with all cladding in place. Glazing has been installed which has enhanced the overall look of the building.

Internally, the building is beginning to take shape with mechanical and electrical work continuing. The basement area is nearing completion, ready for installation of the underground 3G kick pitch, which promises to be a popular area for young people of all ages.
