The infamous gunpowder plot was supposedly planned in Salford’s very own historic Ordsall Hall and the City also played a very important part in the industrial revolution. Salford has plenty to offer in the way of art and museums.

MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT Many famous musicians and entertainers have lived in and come out of Salford. From Christopher Eccleston, who once played Doctor Who, to Shaun Ryder from the Happy Mondays. With that in mind, the music scene is vibrant. The grade 2 listed Islington Mill has become one of Salford’s most thriving music venues and has seen and supported thousands of artists on their musical journey. The City also holds its own annual, independent music festival, ‘Sounds from the Other City’, showcasing developing talent. SPORT Paul Scholes and England cricket captain, Michael Vaughan, both came from Salford. Salford Quays is a stone’s throw away from two of the country’s most renowned sporting meccas, Manchester United and Lancashire County Cricket Club. The City is also home to the Salford City Reds Rugby Club and the AJ Bell Stadium in Irlam. A CITY OF GROWTH Salford has, in recent years, been subject to remarkable growth and regeneration, making it the heart and hub of the North. The redevelopment of Salford Quays has created a world-class business area and the continual expansion of MediaCityUK will carry on bringing jobs into the city and further build on its vibrant economy. Key milestones have included the opening of The Lowry, the relocation of BBC and ITV to the City, and the regeneration of the Soapworks in Ordsall. Plus, the close proximity to Manchester creates a wealth of opportunity for the residents and students of Salford. 7 EXPERT LECTURERS SALLY SPREADBOROUGH B.Sc. (Hons.) R.V.N.

  • Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040 Executive Summary
    GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A sustainable urban mobility plan for the future February 2017 2 GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Our vision 5 3 Critical transport challenges 6 4 Keeping it customer-focussed 10 5 From local neighbourhoods to global markets 13 6 Making it happen 22 3 1 Introduction 1. Greater Manchester is changing. Not only is it growing, both in terms of population and economy, it is also on a path towards significant devolution of powers and funding from central Government, supported by a directly- elected mayor. It is in this context of change that we are developing our 2040 Transport Strategy. 2. The aim is to establish a fully integrated, high capacity transport system for Greater Manchester, with travelling customers at its heart. 3. Transport is crucial in supporting Greater Manchester’s ambitious plans – growth will need and be driven by new connectivity. This is true on both a local and pan-northern level; Greater Manchester has a fundamental role to play at the heart of a successful Northern Powerhouse. 4. Why 2040? The opportunities offered by devolution and greater local determination allow us to take a much bolder and longer-term view of our transport needs. We want to take this opportunity to ensure that we can sustain the success of Greater Manchester for generations to come. 5. Our 2040 Vision for Transport, which we consulted on in 2015, set the scene for the start of a radical, and ambitious, new approach to planning our transport system in support of long-term needs and aspirations.
