Sellafield to invest £2.6 mn in UK Bus Station investment

Today marks a milestone in our project to redevelop the old Bus Station in Whitehaven.

BEC has submitted a formal planning application for permission to do the work, which will be the catalyst for wider development of North Shore.

The total Bus Station project cost is £4.1m, of which Sellafield Ltd is providing £2.6m.

It will create a hothouse for tech, digital, media, and creative start-ups.

Alongside units for fledgling firms, the plan includes:

• conference and meeting space for 75 people

• an artisan food and drink outlet, open to the public

• health and wellbeing facilities

The scheme is part of our Transformation Programme, which seeks to leverage public and private sector investment to help grow and diversify the West Cumbrian economy.
