Islington Estate

Islington is an area located immediately to the south of Chapel Street and is bordered on its other side by a large railway viaduct and by large vacant development sites such as are found at Middlewood Locks.

Salford City Council works in partnership with Salix Homes and other key partners to deliver housing led regeneration and renewal services in Central Salford. Relevant teams within Salix Homes are responsible for a wide range of renewal activities including the delivery of key elements of the Housing Market Renewal programme.

Some of the key activities and services that Salix Homes delivers include:

Rehousing and relocation assistance: Advice and support to those residents, tenants and owners affected by demolition to help them move home, and the delivery of Relocation Equity Loans to help owner-occupiers purchase a replacement property.

Managing demolition areas: Managing areas that are awaiting demolition by securing empty properties, disconnecting gas, electric and water services, managing the environment and keeping the area free from fly-tipping and arranging the demolition of properties.

Improvements to homes: External refurbishment of existing homes to complement new housing development, encourage investment and increase the attractiveness of areas to existing and potential new residents.

Environmental and security umprovements: Encourage and support effective neighbourhood management through environmental improvements, alley gating and streetscaping.

Neighbourhood planning: Involving residents and partners to make sure our work has the maximum impact for the whole community.
