A construction company has been appointed to undertake Stretford’s King Street transformation. Caddick Construction will carry out the first phase of the town centre’s wider £50million master plan after being appointed by joint-venture partners Trafford council and property company Bruntwood.
Work begins today (June 5) and follows an extensive public consultation period which town hall bosses say ‘helped to understand how the transformation could redefine Stretford’s town centre to create more opportunities for residents and visitors’.
Phase one of the development will begin by reshaping Stretford’s 1960s shopping mall, including the removal of King Street’s roof to create an open-air high street and town square featuring upgraded units for retailers, eateries and bars to help boost the local evening economy.
