About this episode
Salfords Skyline Transforming: A Billion-Pound Development Unveiled - A massive one-billion-pound project in Salford will bring three thousand three hundred new homes, including one of the tallest skyscrapers in the country, to the site of the northern part of Regent Retail Park. The development, led by Henley Investment Management, will include a public park, shops, community spaces, businesses, and six hundred affordable homes. Despite concerns from local leaders and MPs about strains on infrastructure and traffic, traffic studies predict fewer daily trips than the current retail park generates. The project promises the largest batch of social rent homes in Greater Manchester in a generation, set to begin construction late next year and wrap up over the next decade.
