Salford Central Station  Improvements to the station and approaches will provide a major transport interchange for surrounding developments in Chapel Street and Manchester City Centre  Repair and restoration of the historic railway bridges was completed in November 2006.  The final Phase 1 design has been agreed and the various statutory approvals received. Phase 1 commenced on site on 04/12/06 and will be completed by September 2007.

Central Chapel Street

 English Cities Fund (ECF) is developing a masterplan for the area as part of their evaluation of development potential around the station. The masterplan will cover the area around the station, extending West to Oldfield Road/Adelphi Street and North and South of Chapel street. ECF keen that the masterplan be translated into informal planning guidance.

Manchester Bury and Bolton Canal

 This project will restore the canal to navigation, instigating regeneration and development along its length.  The final design is complete and British Waterways have issued tenders for the main engineering works with a return date in Jan 2007. The start on site is delayed pending land acquisition from Granada. All partners are now working to achieve the completion of the land agreement. Outputs however are still at risk. Ordsall Riverside

 Ordsall Riverside area is facing significant development pressure, primarily for residential led high density apartment schemes. This is at odds with both adopted planning policy and community aspirations. In order to address these concerns the URC, working with the City Council, are commissioning a masterplan to look at regeneration options for the Ordsall Riverside area. This will include ongoing involvement of stakeholders in the area, including the community forum and land owning stakeholders. Work on the masterplan should be complete by April 2007 and will form the basis for the production of informal planning guidance for the area. Crescent  Working with the City Council and other public sector / land owning stakeholders, the URC have commissioned a masterplan to look at regeneration options for the Crescent area.  The masterplan will be complete by April 2007 and will also look at calming of the A6, at the Crescent, potential for the creation of a new ‘University Square’ and restoration of the Manchester Bolton Bury Canal through the area.

Greengate

 The final Exchange Greengate Planning Guidance was adopted by Council on 17/01/07.  Three planning applications for Exchange Greengate were submitted in September 2006 – these include two applications for mixed use development submitted by ASK and ASK/Network Rail and an application for the primary public realm submitted by Central Salford. These applications are currently being considered with a decision likely in March 2007.  An application for the public realm submitted to Manchester City Council has still to be registered. It is anticipated that the application will be registered in February/ March and determined by April 2007. 40 Crescent Railway Station  Work has started with GMPTE, Network Rail, the University and Central Salford URC on options for the future of Salford Crescent station. The station is currently working beyond its design capacity and there are safety concerns at peak hours due to overcrowding of platforms.  The work will look at short term measures and longer term solutions (which could include relocation of the station to a less constrained site.  Of more urgent concern is the introduction of new rolling stock by certain train operators – from December 2006 and more significantly from May 2007. The net effect is that instead of 2 x 5 car trains stopping per hour on one route, that will change to 1 x 3 car train per hour from December 2006. Further changes seem likely from May 2007.  This is a concern because it will result in fewer / smaller trains stopping at Salford Crescent (which is already overcrowded). A mix of 3 and 6 car train sets will replace existing 5 car sets. Salford Crescent Station can currently accept trains of up to 5 cars only. Lengthening platforms is not possible without significant track relaying / signal changes, which cannot be implemented in the immediate future.

Middlewood  Planning permission was granted in December 2006. The completion of 1st phase of the MBBC is important for the delivery of Middlewood.

Pendleton  Enabling works for LIFT in progress ,October 2006. Pendleton Area Action Plan  Consultation on preferred options deferred until May 2007, due to feedback from GONW, the options being redrafted, and the delay in the PFI announcement.  DCLG announced PFI 5th round placements on 21/12/06. Pendleton will share £200million with North Tyneside. The exact figures are not yet known. Proposed TESCO adjacent to Shopping City  A steering meeting between Tesco /Prime Commercial Properties and SCC/URC/GMPTE took place on 17/01/07. Further monthly meetings are scheduled.  A response from Tesco/ Gubbay to the action plan is expected shortly. A planning application is expected to be submitted in May 2007. Many items are still to be resolved, but good progress is being made on a number of fronts. In addition to the steering group a development approach team is to be established to drive resolution of practical issues.  The timescales for delivery of the foodstore are being hampered by the school site swap (LEA - RC Diocese), with potential vacant possession of the foodstore site now likely to be summer 2010. Options to see if this date can be brought forward are being looked at but the outlook is not positive. A note for the Leader of Council and Lead Members is to be produced for definitive guidance.

Northern Housing Challenge Fund Proposal  Great Places and SCC submitted a proposal to the Northern Housing Challenge Fund on the 15/09/06.  A decision by the Project Board on priorities is anticipated in the spring of 2007, although it is possible this may be delayed until the summer. Successful proposals will then be worked up in more detail . If successful spend would start in 2008/2009.

41 Seedley Village  Block improvements for West of Seedley Park Road phases 3 and 4 and Seedley West phase 3 have been completed. 183 homes were improved.  The Langworthy Hotel and adjacent land is currently being marketed with a deadline for receipt of expressions of interest set for 26/01/07. The Seedley and Langworthy Partnership Board and the Council consider this to be a good opportunity for a high quality mixed-use scheme in a particularly prominent location along Langworthy Road. A selection panel including key partners and stakeholders will review and shortlist submissions in January 2007.  Renovation works are currently on-going to improve 10 properties for Homeswap purposes on Cooperative St.  Current scheme on site to improve 13 shops on Langworthy Road (195 -219), due for completion May 2007.  Work has commenced on site on the refurbishment of Chimney Pot Park.
