  • The Altrincham Strategy July 2014 1
    z The Altrincham Strategy July 2014 1 The Altrincham Strategy Introduction Altrincham has been a market town for more than 700 years and has a rich and varied history. Altrincham is renowned for its outstanding schools, the quality of its residential offer and its proximity to both the Manchester City Region urban area and the Cheshire countryside. It benefits from an affluent catchment area, excellent connectivity by road and public transport and close proximity to Manchester Airport. The town was granted a Charter for a market and fair in 1290 and there are a large number of buildings of architectural interest within the town centre. In recent years town centres nationally have suffered from a combination of competition from out-of-centre retail destinations, the recent economic downturn, the growth of internet shopping and a loss of unique identity and character. These pressures have had a negative impact on Altrincham which experienced a decline in the performance of its centre and retail offer. The Council and Altrincham Forward have recognised that Altrincham Town Centre can do more to maximise its potential and intervention is required to create a unique, attractive and vibrant centre that is fit for the future. The ambition is to create one of the best market towns in the country and make Altrincham the ‘Modern Market Town’. Altrincham should be a town that residents and businesses can be proud of. It should be somewhere with a mix of retail, leisure, cultural, commercial, residential and social provision meeting the day to day needs of local people and providing an attractive destination for visitors.
