North West secures £232m Levelling Up funds

Having bought the shopping centre for £9.5m last year, the council has confirmed that it will not appoint a delivery partner to bring the scheme forward. 

Est 1885 has agreed heads of terms on a deal for the 12,000-capacity stadium, beating off competition from a number of interested parties. 

The council has parted ways with Beijing Construction Engineering Group International and Granite Turner and is seeking new developers for its Crompton Place, Trinity Gateway and Le Mans Crescent projects.

The Turkish Consulate will be located at the 4,000 sq ft 6 Oxford Court, subject to planning approval for the change of use of the building. 

The housing provider wants to create around 400 homes a year in the city, entering a market in which affordable accommodation is often hard to stack up financially.

Seddon Construction is to build 66 homes on the site of the former St Luke’s CE Primary School in Weaste under plans lodged by Salford City Council. 

Join us in person or via livestream on Thursday 9 September as we hear from Greater Manchester councils, Ian Simpson, Simon Ismail and more on the future of the city region.

Cllr Martyn Cox is the new leader of the council and Cllr Adele Warren is the cabinet member for development and regeneration.

Pending final approval, Harry Catherall will assume the role on 26 August. He is the former chief executive of Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council.
