Wythenshawe town centre is set to undergo a major regeneration in the coming years, the Council has announced.
Manchester City Council has today (October 17) confirmed that it has acquired the long lease of the town centre from St. Modwen. The authority says this is the first step in revitalising the south Manchester suburb’s fortunes.
The aim of the redevelopment work will be to create a ‘large new focal point for the local community in a new civic square that celebrates Wythenshawe’s roots as a garden city, developing open areas for planting, trees, and boulevard-style public realm’ it has said. The plans also include building thousands of new homes, many of which will be affordable, on existing Council-owned brownfield land.
