Salford council has plans to develop the site.
A former school which appeared in episodes of BBC drama Waterloo Road could be demolished under new plans by Salford council.
The Shaftesbury Road site could soon be developed by the council to help ‘meet the demand for high quality family and affordable homes’ in the area.The buildings have been earmarked for residential development as part of the council's ‘wider regeneration ambitions’ for the area.But since St Ambrose Barlow left the site, the school buildings have been left in a ‘poor state’ according to the council’s planning application, which states that they are a regular target for anti-social behaviour.
Salford council was awarded £1.6m of brownfield land funding in October which it plans to spend on the works, with demolition scheduled to begin in April next year. “Council officers are now working to secure a demolition contract, which needs to be in place by the end of March 2025 to meet the funding requirements.”
