Trafford residents and local businesses are being encouraged to find out more about Trafford’s bold proposals for future housing and investment needs at the first of a series of drop-in session.
The first of the sessions is this Thursday, 17 November at Altrincham Town Hall (4pm-7pm), and is an opportunity for residents and businesses to find out more about Trafford Council’s proposals for future housing and business development sites across the borough.
The plans are Trafford’s part of the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework, which was developed to provide housing and land to attract investors, boost growth in the local economy and ensure the area has the necessary infrastructure to meet future needs across Greater Manchester.
Trafford Council Leader, Councillor Sean Anstee, is urging any interested party to attend the sessions to find out more. He said: “I would urge everyone with an interest in seeing Trafford continue to strengthen its economy and support people with the necessary housing, leisure and cultural opportunities to get involved. By listening and taking on board their views through these sessions and on-line comments, we can ensure our final plans meet the borough’s future needs and their expectations.
“Trafford’s economy is already acknowledged as the most resilient in the North West and we believe our planning proposals will further enhance Trafford’s economy through investment and development and reinforce Trafford as a superb location for people to live and work.
“As a Council we are continuing to work collaboratively with the other nine Greater Manchester councils to ensure this strength and prosperity is shared across the region and that we are able to provide the necessary infrastructure, housing and opportunities to deliver for future need.”
Anyone who cannot attend this Thursday’s meeting can still get involved in one of the other three drop-in sessions. These are being held on:
Monday, 21 November, Urmston Library, 4pm-7pm
Tuesday, 29 November, Trafford Town Hall, 4pm-7pm
Thursday, 1 December, Sale Waterside, 4pm-7pm
