A national youth charity has submitted a planning application to Cheshire East for a multi-million pound Youth Zone - located on the edge of the town centre.

OnSide plans to build Crewe Youth Zone on Oak Street Car Park - to the south of the town centre behind High Street.

Youth Zones are state-of-the-art spaces with a variety of facilities for young people.

The Crewe Youth Zone site on Oak Street Car Park has a target completion year of 2025 (Ryan Parker).

They Arte filled and staffed by highly skilled youth workers that believe in young people and help them to achieve their potential.

Open seven days a week, Crewe Youth Zone will offer members the opportunity to access 20 activities each night - ranging from sports such as football, boxing and climbing.

It will also offer creative arts, music, drama and employability training.

Young people will be able to access support from dedicated youth workers - all for just 50p per visit and £5 annual membership.

Crewe Youth Zone will be an independent local charity based on OnSide's business model.

Youth Zones are state-of-the-art spaces with a variety of facilities for young people (OnSide).

So far, Onside has developed 14 similar Youth Zones across the country - supporting 50,000 young people.

Crewe Youth Zone's capital and revenue costs will be met from a number of financial contributions from Cheshire East Council and Crewe's allocation from the government's Towns Fund and various charitable trust and foundation grant funding bodies and the private sector.

Prior to opening, OnSide will work with the new Youth Zone to fundraise for the remaining building costs and the first three years' running costs from a combination of private sector and philanthropic contributions.

Head of Property & Construction for OnSide, Adam Poyner, said: "We have worked closely with Cheshire East Council to bring forward a Youth Zone.

"It not only delivers our usual high-quality model but also achieves the aspirations aligned to Crewe's regeneration aspirations for the town and in particular its Southern Gateway.

"This is a very exciting milestone for everyone involved and, most importantly, for the young people of Crewe."

Chair of Crewe Town Board, Doug Kinsman, said: "Through our allocation of funding from the Towns Fund we want to deliver projects that will support the needs of our community and the wider area both now and in the future.

"Crewe Youth Zone would provide fantastic facilities for our young people, helping them to achieve their full potential.

"I am really pleased to see that the project has reached such an important stage in its development."

Crewe Youth Zone will be open seven day per week - offering members the opportunity to access 20 activities each night (OnSide).

Crewe Youth Zone has a target completion year of 2025.
