See inside for details CHAIR’S REPORT As the first signs of Spring start to appear, Altrincham and Bowdon Civic Society has never been busier. April 2nd will find us providing support for the Greater Manchester Marathon and hoping yet again to win the Community Prize. Our big project this year will be National Civic Day which marks the 50th anniversary of the Conservation Area legislation on the weekend of 17th June. Now that the Conservation area appraisals and management plans are completed, our only difficulty is making sure they are complied with. The absence of a Conservation Officer is very difficult for everyone. The Neighbourhood Business Plan for the town centre will be part of the local elections in May but in the meantime a Design Group is meeting regularly with local architects, planners and The Civic Society commenting on Planning Applications. We are grateful to the Chair, Damian Utton of Pozzonis. As Altrincham Forward ends we are in touch with the Business Improvement District now rebranded as Altrincham Unlimited . Civic Voice, our parent organisation, is urging submission of buildings for their Community Assisted Design Awards and we have submitted Station Buildings, Market House and the Conservative Club which has turned the old Working Men’s Conservative Club into an excellent addition to the Market Quarter. It is hoped this will form a future award when the public realm is completed.

  • 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.

Our first big project under the ACT banner is Altrincham in Bloom. I am pleased to report that ACT received a Gold Award in the RHS North West in Bloom competition in Southport as well as the best planters and best community entry in the North West . Their success was celebrated in the town centre by the Altrincham Town Crier Peter Powell. We are also working with the Manchester Tourist Guides who are running regular tours of the Altrincham area. Many of the major projects in Altrincham Town centre are about to conclude. The Interchange will be ready either just before or after Christmas. The new Hospital will be ready in Spring and there are exciting plans for an Integrated Care Hub on the old site together with the new library. The refurbished Market House is a great success and it is hoped the Lower Market canopy and stalls will be finished shortly. The public realm redesign is now funded and news is awaited re Altair and an improved Altrincham Leisure Centre.
