There are plans for huge regeneration projects in the next few years around Salford Quays
Salford Quays could become an overdeveloped "supercity" in the next ten years, a councillor has warned.
Quays residents are mostly based in apartment blocks along the waterways, in what is considered to be a highly desirable part of Greater Manchester to live. It is also an area which draws tourism to the region, with a number of retail outlets as well as bars, restaurants, and attractions for visitors to enjoy.
He said: "Salford Quays is going to be a city centre in the next five to ten years, but the people who live here have not come for that. It's a completely different lifestyle. He added: "The Quays Liberal Democrat team are pro-regeneration in our area, but we are sceptical about the sincerity of the plans due to Labour’s track record in our great city of over building flats and under developing our public services, social provisions and vital infrastructure."
A party spokesperson said: “Salford Labour’s investment into Salford Quays has genuinely transformed the area, with MediaCity now the second largest tech, digital and media hub in the country, attracting high-quality employers and bringing excellent jobs and opportunities to the area for local Salfordians.
"Coun Heilbron’s words are hollow when his party paved the way for cuts which have taken £245million out of our budget since 2010.
