Cllr Bev Craig OBE, Leader of Manchester City Council, said:“ Gorton is a great blueprint for our vision to invest in high streets and district centres across Manchester.
“ This is neighbourhood regeneration done right, in the round, investing in public spaces to support economic growth, complemented by community facilities and services in the Gorton Hub, and underpinned by new homes – including significant social rent and affordable housing.“ We are replicating this approach in neighbourhoods right across the city. Moston Lane, Wythenshawe and Withington have each already seen key investment – and Newton Heath is next in line.
“ Finishing the public square is a milestone for Gorton- this is about celebrating our high streets as the hearts of our communities – creating spaces our residents want to spend time in.”
