Plans to build over 240 homes and 'community hub' on fields in Manchester

Plans have been revealed to build over 240 homes and a 'new sports and community hub' on former playing fields in Manchester.

The proposals have been unveiled for Mellands Playing Fields in Gorton by the Greater Manchester Youth Federation (GMYF) - a charitable organisation that has been providing vital youth services to young people in Greater Manchester for over 110 years.

They say the proposals would help keeps youths of the community active and help families who are currently struggling with the cost of living crisis. Alongside the houses, the plans would also see two new football pitches built which GMYF say would be used by local clubs, including West Gorton Junior FC.
