  • Annex 6-SALFORD CITY COUNCIL
    Annex 6-SALFORD CITY COUNCIL Introduction to the area A6.1 The City of Salford is situated at the heart of the Greater Manchester conurbation, in the north-west region of England. The City is bordered by Manchester City to the west, Trafford Metropolitan Borough to the south, Wigan Borough and Warrington to the east and Bolton Metropolitan Borough and Bury Metropolitan Borough to the North. A6.2 Salford is predominantly an urban area. The main industrial complexes in the City include the Northbank Industrial Estate, Clifton and Walkden Industrial Estate. A6.3 Although large areas of the City are residential there are also substantial green spaces including the Moss Land at Irlam and Cadishead, Botany Bay Woods at Worsley and the Lower Irwell Valley. The Manchester Ship Canal runs along the Southern border of the City and the Bridgewater Canal runs through the West of the City. A6.4 There are four town shopping and commercial centres at Salford, Eccles, Walkden and Swinton and numerous subsidiary centres. A6.5 Salford is at the hub of the transport network, with the M602, M60, M61 and M62 motorways all within the City boundaries. There are excellent road, rail and air links, and the Metrolink tram system now extends to Eccles and Salford Quays from Manchester City centre. Summary of review and assessment results A6.6 The review and assessment of air quality in Salford was completed in December 2000 and identified areas within the City that were likely to exceed the national air quality objectives in 2004 and 2005. A6.7 After an extensive local consultation exercise the Council decided to declare an Air Quality Management Area in June 2001.
