We are happy to announce that Manchester City Council has begun gathering feedback around our transformational proposals for Holt Town, east Manchester.

Bound by the city centre one side and Sport City and the Etihad Campus the other, major investment in this area will finally create a link between these two key economic drivers for Manchester and continue the long-term regeneration of Ancoats and New Islington into east Manchester.

1 Kilometre play link

Holt Town presents an opportunity to create a new town within the city, developing 74 acres (30ha) of underused, brownfield land that has the potential to deliver 4,500 new homes—including significant affordable housing—alongside commercial space that could support 1,500 new jobs in the area. In addition, our plans envisage 15 acres of new and enhanced public green space—including enhanced and regrown woodland; a 1km play link for people to enjoy safe outdoor space all year round and new cultural and community spaces. A range of low-car principles, including safe walking and cycling routes and new mobility hub are also provided for.

Consultation on the draft Neighbourhood Development Framework will be open for six weeks from 19 August to 29 September 2024.

Respondents can provide feedback via the website: holttownwoodtown.com

Local people can also attend two in-person drop-in events at Church of the Apostles & St Cuthbert’s, Ridgeway Street, Miles Platting, Manchester M40 7FY.

Wednesday 18th September 1–5 pm
