Trafford council is still looking for cash to complete its controversial plans for a relief road in Carrington.
The road has garnered opposition from hundreds of local residents since it is set to cut across the much-loved Carrington Moss reserve. The area is home to endangered birds, mammals, amphibians and carbon capturing peat bogs.
In the latest update given to Trafford council’s scrutiny committee, officers stated that the Carrington Relief Road plans are set to be submitted for planning approval in Summer 2023. But, there is a ‘funding shortfall’ the authority is still grappling with for the scheme.
