Irlam & Cadishead
Welcome to the pages for the Irlam and Cadishead Neighourhood Area. Here you will find information about the neighbourhood, as well as current news, useful contacts, and opportunities for getting involved.
The neighbourhood area is made up of the wards of Irlam, and Cadishead. For statistical information about these wards see our ward profiles page.
The area is extremely varied - the northern half is moss land, enabling Irlam and Cadishead to have the largest farming community in Salford. The southern half is mainly residential, having its own major employment source based on the Northbank Industrial Estate.
Help us plan Cadishead Park
Salford City Council and Urban Vision are producing a master plan for the future of Cadishead Park. We are inviting local people to find out about the plans and to give us your views.
Leisure/community facilities/groups
Irlam and Cadishead has numerous sports clubs, bands and interest groups. A list is available at the two local libraries.
The leisure facilities in Irlam & Cadishead are expanding with the new Acorn Sports and Art Centre recently opened and a new football ground also recently re-established. Fit City have two centres - one in each district - comprising a large swimming pool and sports facilities. There is also an active angling club and the old river makes excellent fishing. The recently-formed Youth Arts and Music Group have organised workshops for young people and families and played a major part in this year's extremely successful Community Festival.
Irlam and Cadishead benefit from large expanses of open space and parks.

The action plan and the master plan for Prince’s Park are available in the local libraries.
