Eshton Group breaks ground on Castleford hub

A Leeds-based property developer is underway with the construction of a new roadside development in Castleford.

Eshton Group has begun work on the Bridge Street site following planning approval from Wakefield Council in late 2024. 

The development, which will include ten electric vehicle charging bays and a drive-thru Costa Coffee, is set to open by October. 

Richard Tovey, director at Eshton Group, said: “As we continue to build our portfolio of roadside sites, we are pleased to be able to bring forward this new development in Castleford. 

“Not only will the new site bolster local EV charging infrastructure, but it will also serve commuters due to its prime proximity to key road networks. 

“Having already secured EV Networks and Costa Coffee to the site, we are confident that this new roadside development will be a welcome addition to the local area.”
