Episode Details

A massive new development is set to transform Greater Manchester, with plans to build 1,550 homes on farmland near the M60 between Simister and Bowlee—complete with a local center, school, and cycling/walking paths linking to future job hubs like Atom Valley. Part of the broader Northern Gateway initiative, it’s part of a larger push for 6,000+ new homes across the region, aiming to tackle housing shortages while boosting connectivity. But residents worry about strain on transport, healthcare, and infrastructure before homes even arrive. Developers promise upgrades to roads, buses, and even a potential tram-train link to Middleton decades from now—all designed to create a sustainable, community-focused neighborhood where people can live, work, and play.
