Public Consultation Launches On Ardwick Green Neighbourhood Development Framework

Construction News Image
Manchester City Council has launched a public consultation which will give people the chance to be part of the Ardwick Green Story.

An initial survey over the summer invited local people to give their thoughts on the principles Ardwick Green Neighbourhood Development Framework.

Now a full public consultation will gather local people's views to capture their priorities for future development, which will then act as a guide for any investment in the area in the coming years.

Affordable housing is a key tenet of the Ardwick approach, helping to meet demand for new high quality affordable housing, close to the city that Manchester people can access and lay down roots - encouraging people to remain in the area long-term to build a strong, lasting community.

The consultation will ask how the green space - along with other emerging green spaces in the neighbourhood - can be better used in the future, and how the community can be better connected to the rest of the city.

Already within walking distance of Piccadilly train station, along with major development at Mayfield (as well as HS2), Ardwick has a huge amount of potential that can be maximised in line with the regeneration of neighbouring areas - and will complement the continuing regeneration effort of nearby Brunswick.

Currently an area characterised by a range of different uses, with a range of smaller, defined areas, the vision for Ardwick is to celebrate the different parts of the area but bring together the neighbourhood with a holistic approach, centred around the community.
