Chorlton Park

Clean, green and safer neighbourhoods make our city attractive. They help us feel better and safer where we live, work, study and visit.

These are the projects that have been funded by the Clean and Green investment in your neighbourhood so far. The 'completed' projects were finished in 2024 and 2025. The 'in delivery' projects are scheduled for 2026 and 2027.
