Salford’s Ghost Town Gets New Life | Manchester News
Description
Salford’s Swinton shopping precinct, long dubbed a ghost town with half its shops empty, is set for a major revival: 38 brand-new affordable homes are coming to a former salon and car park site. Fully managed by a social landlord and locked in at 100% affordable forever, this development—backed by For Living & For Housing—aims to breathe life back into the neighborhood, even without new ground-floor shops. Final planning approval could start construction by late August, with work scheduled weekdays 8 AM–6 PM and shorter Saturday hours. This could be the shot in the arm the area’s residents have been waiting for.
