The waterside at Salford Quays is set to become a hotspot for the public to eat and drink with a new ‘Box on the Docks’ concept being brought in. The scheme includes a food hall targeted at independent food and drink operators at terrace level and spaces at dockside level.
The proposals, submitted by the Lowry Outlet, at the quayside will include an external mall walkway to create new outdoor seating areas, erection of new food and retail container units. It is hoped that increasing footfall within the area would aid the vitality and viability of the area surrounding the shopping centre.
This is part of the Salford City Council’s masterplan that involves dividing the Quays into three distinct areas: Living, Live/Working and Leisure.
