Residents in Trafford are being asked to voice their views on the future development of Sale Moor and Hale village centres. The council wants all stakeholders, residents and businesses to take part in the consultation which opens today (January 16).
In 2019, the council instructed Nexus Planning and a wider team of sub-consultants to prepare ‘Place Plans’ for the villages. The plans were subject to a wide range of public and stakeholder consultation throughout 2020 and were progressed at a time when the Covid pandemic was beginning to have full effect on the way people were socialising and using town centres.
They were drafted but then withdrawn to be revisited at a time when the country was back to a degree of ‘normality’. The council is now looking to update plans to ensure they are relevant and pick up on the changes to the way we use our centres following the pandemic and reflect the aspirations of stakeholders within each centre.
