More than 300 homes in Salford are to get a £3.75 million facelift courtesy of the city council.(Sourced from here.)
The money, which has been provided by the Manchester Salford Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder Partnership (MSP), is being used to spruce up 337 privately-owned properties in the Gainsborough Street area of Higher Broughton.
The new funding for the area comes hot on the heels of an £8 million award from the Homes and Communities Agency, through the Government’s Kickstart programme, to restart house building on the next major phase of the New Broughton development in Lower Broughton.
The Manchester Salford Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder Partnership (MSP) is one of nine area pathfinder projects set up to develop comprehensive programmes of neighbourhood renewal to create sustainable housing markets and sustainable neighbourhoods.
Salix Homes, which manages council homes in central Salford and helps to provide housing regeneration and renewal services for Salford residents, is managing the project on behalf of the council. It has also held consultations with local people on when and how the work will be done.
