Councils upgrade social housing broadband

Addisol Endless Resources has taken 4,700 sq ft on a five-year lease at the industrial complex, part of Kingsway Business Park, as it increases production of personal protective equipment during the pandemic. 

The 24,000 sq ft centre of excellence for intelligent automation and robotics, designed by 5plus Architects, has been granted £6.5m from the European Regional Development Fund and construction is due to start in September. 

Trafford Council expects to receive the planning application for “the world’s first” commercial liquid air battery plant in the coming weeks, to be located at the Carrington Power Station off Manchester Road.

This year will see fresh services launched including a development map to complement news stories and branded content production for partners.

Up to 60,000 residential and commercial buildings in Greater Manchester need retrofitting every year, for the city to reach its target of becoming zero carbon by 2038, the council heard.

This one-off event puts the leaders shaping Manchester on the same stage for the very first time, to answer the tough questions about the past, present, and future of the city. 

Cllr Sean Anstee, the former leader of Trafford Council, has joined Telcom Group to head a new division of the business.
