Demand for new housing shows little sign of slowing as Greater Manchester continues to grow. Sale’s Racecourse Estate is one place where new, affordable homes are being built and money is being poured in - but not everyone is happy with the changes.
The Trafford estate - officially known as Sale West - is the target of a £7.2 million regeneration project by Irwell Valley Homes, currently in its first phase. Hundreds of tenants can expect new kitchens, boilers, roofs, painting and fencing - and so far, 17 new homes have been built.
The area was once known as one of Greater Manchester’s most notorious estates, but has been transformed by waves of investment, with residents speaking of their pride in the area to the Manchester Evening News .
