Salford City Council has been awarded £1,615,000 of Brownfield Land Release Fund money to help transform Swinton.
The money will be spent on demolishing the former site at St Ambrose Barlow High School in Swinton and the fund will also allow for enabling works, land remediation and ground works.
Councillor Jack Youd, Deputy City Mayor and Lead Member for Finance, Support Services and Regeneration at Salford City Council said: “The award of the money after our bid is great news for Swinton.
“Council officers are now working to secure a demolition contract, which needs to be in place by the end of March 2025 to meet the funding requirements.”
The project has been funded by HM Government through the Brownfield Land Release Fund.
The One Public Estate programme is a partnership between the Office of Government Property in the Cabinet Office, the Local Government Association and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). It provides practical and technical support and funding for public sector partners to deliver ambitious property-led programmes in collaboration.
