Big plans to tackle unsafe, unfinished and empty developments in parts of Old Trafford have been revealed. Trafford council’s executive has agreed to look into the possibility of introducing enforcement action to address issues at a number of properties.
A number of developments, in Clifford Ward and one in Longford Ward, appear to have issues. These include:
- Aura Court: Fire Escape and stairwell incomplete with substandard cladding
- Browning Street: Poor construction
- Empress Mill: Incomplete development, sub-standard construction, and partial fire damage
- Trafford Press and Veno Building: Incomplete development, sub-standard construction, and substantial fire damage
- Former Duckworths Essence Building: Landmark Grade II Listed building empty and in poor repair
- 37 Seymour Grove: Substandard cladding
- 5-33 Northumberland Road: Development impaired by adjacent vacant derelict site
