A huge £1bn development with 3,000 homes has taken a vital step forward, thanks to a funding agreement years in the making.
Land for the development has finally been opened up thanks to a funding agreement for a bridge on the boundary between Salford and Trafford. The bridge, which connects TraffordCity to Salfordbridge and is owned by Peel L&P, was causing delays in the progress of development because no-one could agree who should pay for it going forward.
The 50 metre lifting bridge marks a vital route into the site earmarked for the Trafford Waters development, as well as a corresponding Salford council-backed development known as Port Salford.
