The latest masterplan to transform a Greater Manchester neighbourhood
A masterplan that will underpin the transformation of Middleton town centre has been officially adopted - but it could still see some big changes.The ambitious strategy which aims to make it a ‘beautiful and exciting place’ was voted through at a sometimes fiery township meeting at the Arena.
Council leader Neil Emmott said the blueprint was not ‘set in stone’ and the views expressed on the evening should form part of the consultation. The West Middleton councillor noted that concerns over proposals to reroute traffic from Market Place along Old Hall Street had been raised a number of times.
“I think there’s nobody in this room who is against the idea we need to improve Middleton town centre, I think we’ve got absolute consensus on that across the board” he said. “I think we can agree in principle that we need a masterplan for Middleton town centre - but that masterplan can be changed, can be tweaked with and can be completely changed to whatever people want.”
