New waterside development to boost local economy

A new mixed-use development, The Moorings, has officially opened in Staveley as part of the £25 million Government-backed Staveley Town Deal regeneration programme. Located by the Chesterfield Canal, the development is set to offer office, retail, and dining spaces designed to attract both businesses and visitors.

The first floor of the building houses six office units ranging from 450 to 750 square feet, available for rent. The ground floor includes retail spaces and a larger area designated for a restaurant or café-bar, which will feature outdoor seating overlooking the canal. The site also benefits from improved access, including a new road and footpath, making it more attractive for visitors looking to enjoy recreational activities like walking, cycling, and boating.

Expected to generate 40 to 60 new jobs, The Moorings is part of a broader initiative to stimulate local economic growth and create a vibrant destination in the region. The Staveley Town Deal has contributed £3.5 million towards the £4.5 million cost of the project, with the remaining funding covered by local partners.

The development forms part of the wider Markham Vale business park initiative, aimed at supporting business growth in the area.
