The town centre is full of quality shops and a great selection of places to eat and drink - from established traditional pubs, to restaurants catering for all tastes and all ages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leigh town centre is also close by and has benefited from several regeneration initiatives including pedestrianisation and a new outside market.

&lt;p&gt;Just when you thought Manchester&amp;rsquo;s new apartment buildings were beginning to look the same, along comes &amp;rsquo;Chips&amp;rsquo;, so called because it looks like chips on a plate.&lt;br /&gt;
Designed by Alsop Architects, who dreamed up the Strategic Framework for the whole of New Islington, Chips is one of the most significant buildings in the scheme.&lt;br /&gt;
Overlooking canals on both sides, with a restaurant at ground level, this is one of the best addresses in New Islington. Clad with warm timber panels and stamped with the names of places from where Manchester once imported tea, this is a building that will be famous as soon as it is built.&lt;br /&gt;
Chips is not just flats; it&amp;rsquo;s a home. A landmark that&amp;rsquo;s meant for living in. Every apartment has some outside spaces, a roof terrace or a balcony. Good for sitting. Just a lovely place to be.&lt;br /&gt;
We&amp;rsquo;re aiming for something real; a place. Chips is a building full of people, not just faces but neighbours. This isn&amp;rsquo;t a room in an empty corridor. It has a community around it; it&amp;rsquo;s growing.&lt;br /&gt;
A basement car park provides enough secure car storage to provide one to one parking. Chips is expected to be completed in early 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
