Funding for 600 new sustainable homes

The plan is for about 600 new sustainable homes - meaning close to easily accessible public transport links and energy efficient thus reducing residents' overall carbon footprint - of which 20 per cent will be affordable.

New projects include sites in north and east Manchester along with city centre development, all of which will make use of brownfield land to support the creation of 'much-needed housing! The city council's executive was updated on the authority's overall goal to oversee 10,000 new council, social and genuinely affordable homes by 2031 along with the This City programme.

Public engagement has just begun on two sites - Hyde Road in east Manchester, where around 150 homes will be created and Monsall, north Manchester, where there will be around 175 built in multiple phases.
