When you’re tyred of factory, you’re tyred of life.
Work is now under way to turn disused buildings which were owned by a tyre giant in Burton into a massive new housing and retail development. A demolition team is currently removing the buildings that used to be owned by Pirelli.
This will be followed by the removal of the unused high bay warehouse in Derby Road.
The demolition work is due to be completed by November and then the next stage will see up to 300 homes built alongside a commercial development including offices, a pub, hotel and restaurants.
Ian Romano, senior development surveyor at St Modwen, which is undertaking the work, said: “We are pleased to start work on this new regeneration project which is the result of many years of planning and consultation.
“The scheme will deliver good-quality homes, leisure facilities and generate several hundred jobs through the construction and completed development.”
