Primrose Hill Primary School
The new £6.5 million Primrose Hill primary school and children's centre, was completed in September 2007. The school accommodates 315 pupils and also incorporates an 83 place children's centre providing education, health, social care and day care facilities for the local community.
Radclyffe Park
In spring 2010, LPC Living were granted planning permission for a new retail centre on the site of the former Radclyffe School. The scheme includes a 50,000 square feet Morrisons supermarket, 12 additional retail units and 282 affordable apartments and houses. The development is currently being built with completion due by the end of 2011. An artist's impression of the scheme can be downloaded below.
Parks and spaces
Improvements to the open space at Monmouth Park in south Ordsall were completed in July 2008. Work has started on implementing a masterplan to improve Ordsall Park, the second oldest park within the city.
In summer 2009, improvements were made to the children's play equipment with the addition of a natural play area and a small trim trail for younger children. The park also boasts a green gym for outdoor exercising, recently installed new seating and a nature trail.
Planned improvements for 2011 include an informal play area.
Each phase of the development carried out under the development agreement is subject to consultation with local residents. Consultation events have recently been held for the next phases of regeneration, including redevelopment of the old District Centre and former St Clements primary school site.
A copy of the report on the results of this last consultation event can be downloaded below.
