Strangeways
A gateway to the city centre, Strangeways has been undermined by crime and a decline in the quality of buildings and public space. We worked with Greater Manchester Police and other agencies to remove criminal enterprises. Legitimate businesses now have a chance to prosper. And we’re ready to consider the long-term future of this historic neighbourhood.
The vision for Strangeways builds upon the strong business base it already has. Strangeways is home to hundreds of firms. They span sectors such as fashion, textiles, logistics and warehousing. The area presents a great opportunity to contribute to the economic growth of the city. As well as creating new jobs, new homes and high-quality public spaces.
We created strategic regeneration frameworks for Great Ducie Street and the former Boddingtons Brewery site. Construction has started on several residential-led schemes.
In Autumn 2023, we worked with Salford City Council to appoint a project team. They’ll look at the wider area – of Strangeways and Cambridge in Salford – and how it might evolve. They’ll consider the existing businesses and the area’s economic potential. As well as what that development might look like. They'll be thinking about the buildings, transport, public spaces and social infrastructure.
We’ll work with Salford City Council to consult residents and businesses in Strangeways and Cambridge (and surrounding areas). Further details about that consultation will be available on our website.
After the consultation, a new strategic regeneration framework will be presented to both councils in summer 2024.
