Mirrlees Fields to be transferred to Land Trust 

Following its first meeting last night, the taskforce will attempt to secure funding to upgrade existing buildings on a mass scale in a bid to help the city region hit its 2038 net-zero carbon target.

The country’s fifth Royal Horticultural Society garden, spanning 154 acres of Peel Group-owned land in Worsley, has opened to the public for the first time, 10 months later than scheduled. 

Funded by the Mayors Challenge Fund, the £4.8m proposed walk and cycle path is designed by Planit-IE on behalf of the Bridgewater Canal Company, which is owned by Peel L&P.

The energy and regeneration specialist is to retrofit 20 buildings across the borough as part of the Goverment's drive to cut emissions across public sector estates. 

A public square, river walk along the Croal and shared gardens and roof terraces for residents feature in the landscaping of the £25m build-to-rent development due to start on site this autumn.

The £4m project involved the construction of 19 eco-friendly, five-bedroom properties on behalf of Oldham Council, which has agreed to buy the scheme.

From 24 June, Place North West will be bringing property people back together again at conferences, social gatherings and debates.

The Whitehall funding will be used to upgrade more than 150 public buildings including the Manchester Aquatics Centre, helping to cut carbon emissions and create jobs, the combined authority said.
