RADCLIFFE town centre is to get a new heart.

Planning chiefs in Bury have formally approved a scheme to revamp Dale Street with a new bus station and retail store.

As part of the project, the existing bus station will be demolished to make way for a retail store.

The new bus station will be built on a site adjoining the Royal Mail sorting office. Two-way traffic will be restored around the sorting office on the roads to and from the new bus station.
