A MODERN-day youth centre for Radcliffe is nearing completion.
The former Radcliffe Youth Club in Coronation Road has been closed for six months while refurbishments totalling £200,000 have been taking place.
Radcliffe area youth work manager, Tim Pyzniuk, said that when it opens in November it would be a "centre of excellence" for the young people of the town.
Mr Pyzniuk said: "In the past the youth club simply offered young people a place to socialise off the streets and a place where they could do award work such as the Duke of Edinburgh scheme.
"However, the new centre is going to have an extensive programme, will be open more hours and will be more of a young peoples' service centre. There will be music and multi-media opportunities as well as computer and Internet access.
There will also be a number of physical improvements, including a new kitchen, an extra office and disabled facilities.
