Growth plans for Salford
Six growth locations have been identified across Greater Manchester as part of our integrated pipeline for growth. Each growth location has a distinct focus and relates to specific local areas.
Growth locations linked to Salford
- Central Growth Cluster: The Central Growth Cluster will build on the continuing high performance of the city centre growth engine – powered by the science and tech cluster on the Oxford Road Corridor, creative industries and Greater Manchester’s large business, financial and professional services community. This area will foster growing innovation districts at Sister and Salford Crescent, and major regeneration projects like Victoria North and Holt Town.
- Western Gateway: The Western Gateway connects New Carrington to the city centres, including Old Trafford and Port Salford. It is where the HYNET low carbon hydrogen project links to Greater Manchester, with plans to capitalise on its connectivity to support Greater Manchester’s low carbon economy.
Commitments for Salford
Commitment 1
Salford will build on their existing track record of delivering more high quality, affordable and low carbon homes, significantly ramping up delivery, with a target to deliver an extra 350 homes per year. This will include a target of 600 more council homes delivered through the council’s own development company Dérive by 2028.
Commitment 2
Work with partners across Greater Manchester to better connect public transport to key travel locations in the city including Salford’s Towns, MediaCityUK, Salford Royal Hospital and Salford Community Stadium.
Commitment 3
Salford will continue to deliver more inclusive growth in the city by delivering further large-scale regeneration projects such as the expansion of MediaCityUK, the £2.5 billion transformation of Salford Crescent, Port Salford and the re-development of Salford’s town centres – equipping residents with the skills, training and qualifications needed to access and progress into high quality local jobs.
