Plans for the regeneration of Hattersley are moving forward with new play-parks and improved access to popular woodland.
Councillors at Tameside’s latest executive cabinet meeting were given an update of the programme of works happening in Hattersley in the past year, and what is to come in 2023. The widespread regeneration of the area began in 2006 when the population had declined by more than half down to around 6,600 people, and the estate was suffering from a ‘serious lack of investment’.
Since then Onward Homes, formerly Peak Valley Housing Association, has demolished 900 homes, refurbished 1,475 homes and built 155 new properties. Another developer, Barratt Homes, will have built a total of 692 dwellings through a development agreement with the council, Onward Homes and Homes England by the summer of 2023.
