Stretford set to become greener and safer

The large-scale transformation of Stretford town centre into a greener and safer environment has moved a step closer. Trafford Council has appointed contractor AE Yates to deliver a number of major public realm improvements in the town centre.

The works, which are expected to start on May 27, will make the town centre a place that meets the needs of local residents and businesses. As part of the improvements, Trafford council is looking to make the Kingsway and Barton Road junction safer and greener as part of its transformation of the town.

Plans include new crossing points, cycle lanes, footpaths, trees and green spaces. The Kingsway carriageway is also being re-designed to help reduce speeds and improve the space for cyclists and pedestrians.
