The school did a project with a local artist on what does regeneration mean to you along Chapel Street.
up into a fabulous square where currently people are living but not in a particularly nice environment.
This is what it means to them. They have produced their lovely visual and where we have unattractive properties that we still want to retain we are putting these hoardings up and this is starting to lift the area. Note the area opposite Salford Cathedral and the challenge of fabulous listed buildings with adjoining dereliction. We still have a long way to go but we are already on track.

This is another partnership approach with the Salford City Council, but this time with ASK and Network Rail as developers and landholders and with funding through Home and Communities Agency and the North West Development Agency.
This is how we think it will look. We have secured funding of almost £13 million for the first phase of public realm and we are working hand-in-hand with the developer and the private sector to enter into a collaboration agreement so public sector funding runs alongside private sector investment. We hope to start this project later this year. This is a huge opportunity, which will bring forward a mixed-use scheme of commercial space, and you can start to understand why this £4 billion private sector investment is possible.

Irwell River Park is the ‘zip’ that links it all together. Most cities embrace their river and use it as an asset. But Manchester does not and many visitors to Manchester probably never even realise that it has a river. We went for a Big Lottery Living Land Mark bid but we did not win but we did create a great partnership in Salford, Manchester, Trafford and in March 2008 signed up to joint planning guidance for the area This will mean that developments do not turn their back on the river but use it as an asset and make it open and inviting and not create a ‘canyon’ effect. Developers have seen this as beneficial and have changed their schemes to accord with the planning guidance.
