Mulbury breaks ground on Tyldesley homes

Work has begun on the second phase of a £3.7m housing development in Eccles being built to support tenants at risk of becoming homeless.

The Government has turned down requests to intervene on the 10-storey, 270,000 sq ft development, allowing The Christie to kick off the build on what it claims will be “one of the world’s top centres for cancer research” by 2025.

The Cheshire-based company’s unsecured creditors are owed £70m, while more details behind the firm’s problem jobs have been revealed in a newly released administrators’ report.

A planning application has been put forward for apartments at the derelict Partington Social Club, adding further homes to proposals submitted in March this year.

Controversial plans for 209 homes at Burgess Farm, a 23-storey tower at New Bailey, and apartments on Eccles New Road have all been granted approval by Salford City Council.

The college is looking to appoint a contractor for its £10m overhaul of its Openshaw campus, part of a wider strategy which will see a new site opened at Manchester's Boddington’s Brewery.

Warden Construction has started work on a £4.6m health and wellbeing centre in Little Hulton, backed by the Greater Manchester Pension Fund.

The developer has advanced plans for a major employment site in Stockport by submitting an outline application for Bredbury Gateway, including more than 1.2m sq ft of industrial space.

Work will start on the Project3-designed scheme in the town centre in early October, with the development set to deliver 70 apartments, leisure space, and a multi-storey car park.
