Motion text
That this House congratulates The Wharf Marple on securing a grant of £868,210 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to transform the Grade II-listed former warehouse into Marple’s first Heritage and Community Centre, which is due to open in early 2026; notes the project’s importance to the local community in celebrating Marple’s canal transport heritage and the legacy of early 19th-century industrial development, as well as its contribution to the conservation of local heritage; and believes that establishing Marple’s first heritage centre at this symbolic site reinforces its compelling case of designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
