Withington

Place and Infrastructure

• Support residents who want to grow food and plants in their local area. This includes the Heathside Road Community Growers Project. We will support this project by working with the Education Team. We will check if the land can be used for growing.
• Invest Clean and Green funding to improve local spaces. We will make environmental improvements at Egerton Crescent car park and Booth Avenue. We will install kick‑rail fencing on Parsonage Road to protect grass verges from damage.
• Work with residents to make their alleyways clean, green, and safe. On Beverly Road and Rufus Street, we will give advice and support. We will share tools and resources. We will also help residents link with local partners.

Green and Circular Economy

• Work with Manchester Student Homes, the University of Manchester, and Manchester Metropolitan University to manage student waste. During the student move‑out period, we will set up clear donation points in busy areas. We will collect items that can be reused. We will support local groups to give these items a new life.
• Work with the Manchester Student Waste and Recycling Team to plan and deliver a targeted engagement campaign. We will hand out recycling leaflets. We will speak directly with students in areas with high numbers of shared homes. We will promote the correct use of waste bins. The aim is to improve recycling habits, reduce contamination, and help students recycle more. The roads we will focus on are Edgerton Road, Derby Road, Ladybarn Crescent, and Parsonage Road.

People and Communities

• Provide climate‑related advice at community events. We will speak to 50 residents. We will focus on simple ways to save energy at home and reduce household costs.
• Support the Ladybarn Litter Pickers to continue their monthly litter pick. We will help recruit six new volunteers. This will include students who live in the area.
• We will support Manchester Student Homes Community Meals to promote low‑carbon meal options. We will also help recruit six students to become litter picking and waste management ambassadors. This will help build stronger links between students and the local community and encourage care for the local environment.
