Moston Lane in Manchester is to be transformed as part of a part of a programme cleaning up district centres.

Manchester City Council is to invest over £122,000 from the clean city fund, provided by its shareholding in Manchester Airport, into improving the appearance of the area.

The money will pay for work to be carried out over the next six months, on Moston Lane and the junctions of surrounding streets such as Worsley Avenue, Gill Street, Clough Road and Kenyon Lane.

The work includes the planting of trees along stretches of the road and the planting of bulbs on some of the grass verges.

Improvements will also be made to the area's Peace Gardens, with pathways resurfaced, new benches installed and a sign cleaned up, while the nearby St Dunstan's Green will also be cleaned.

Moston Lane and some surrounding streets will be given a deep clean while old metal tree guards, which have become unsightly by trapping litter, will be removed.

New street signs will be put up, directing shoppers and other visitors to the district centre and to the area's free car park, while new road markings will be painted on the street and new litter bins will be installed.
