Central Salford - from challenge to opportunity
Central Salford has immense potential, encompassing part of the Regional Centre, and is the focus of the city's biggest regeneration challenge since the redevelopment of Salford Quays. Taking in the wards of Ordsall, Broughton, Irwell Riverside, Langworthy, Kersal, Claremont, Weaste and Seedley, the area embraces 2,000 hectares and is home to 72,000 people.
Central Salford has a new Vision and Regeneration Framework managed by the Central Salford Urban Regeneration Company (URC). Building on the area's status a Housing Marketing Renewal Pathfinder and the future location for MediaCityUK incorporating the move north of key BBC Departments, the Vision and Regeneration Framework and associated Business Plan articulates clear investment priorities that will unlock hundreds of millions of pounds of private sector resources, in turn leading to thousands of new job opportunities.
The redevelopment of Central Salford will include dramatic improvements to the city's infrastructure and housing, creating a world-class living, working and leisure environment. The aim is to secure the continued health and expansion of the Regional Centre in Salford, and the creation of a series of sustainable neighbourhoods of choice within the area.
The URC's priority projects include:
- MediaCityUK;
- Chapel Street/The Crescent;
- Pendleton;
- Ordsall; and
- Exchange, Greengate.
