Residents in one of Manchester's trendiest neighbourhoods are set to get something they've wanted for ages - a rejuvenated park.
Plans to build a ‘heart of Ancoats’ have been formally submitted by Manchester City Council, which it says ‘will act as the green focal point for the area’. Ancoats Green currently is a patch of grass around Wadeford Close, near to Oldham Road and Poland Street.
Revitalising Ancoats Green forms one element of the project to improve public space in the neighbourhood, along with Jersey Green and public realm on Prussia Street. In all, the project will cost £32.7million, including the money spent on the new Ancoats Mobility Hub, with £28.1m coming from Homes England and another £4.7m from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority through the Brownfield Housing Fund.
