Directions to Salford Civic Centre, Swinton
Salford Civic Centre is on the A6 Chorley Road in the centre of Swinton at its junction with the B5231 (Partington Lane), approximately a quarter of a mile north of the A580 "East Lancs" road in north west Greater Manchester.
Getting to the civic centre from the M60 Manchester Orbital
If
you are driving to the civic centre via the M60 motorway, eastbound (clockwise) traffic should exit
at Junction 13 (Worsley) and follow the A572 towards Swinton. Westbound (anti-clockwise) traffic should
leave at Junction 16 (Swinton) and turn left onto the A666. NB: there is no eastbound/clockwise
exit on the M60 at Junction 16.
A visitor's car park is available at the front of Unity House, all visitors must obtain a ticket as soon as they arrive and display this in their windscreen. Parking is free for the first two hours (automatically credited to the ticket) and then £1 per hour thereafter.
Getting to the civic centre by public transport
