It was redeveloped by the Central Lancashire Development Corporation, into a mix of improved housing, new-built housing, and industrial units. The former school building became a local community centre. The local pub, The Plungington, underwent a substantial makeover in 2025. Plungington is a ward for elections to Preston City Council, electing three councillors.

A Community land trust has been established with the aim of bringing the church building back into use including the creation of 14 flats.
