Central Salford on hunt for river cash

Published: 2010-06-10 09:52:36

A £27m funding shortfall needs to be overcome if the Irwell River Park project between Salford and Manchester is to be fully realised. (Sourced from Place North West.)
 
The ambitious project is aimed at connecting developments running from Media City UK in Salford Quays to Cathedral Square in Manchester city centre.

Funding is being sought through a combination of public and private sector investment, with £45m already secured from the European Regional Development Fund, North West Development Agency, Homes & Communities Agency, Salford City Council, Manchester City Council, Trafford Council and private sector partners.

The £72m project aims to transform the 690-acre area running 8km along the course of the River Irwell, from Salford Quays through Ordsall and Castlefield, Chapel Wharf, off Chapel Street, and Manchester city centre onto The Meadows, in Broughton, and Salford University.
