“It’s a really exciting symbolic moment down there, with narrow streets and places that will become vibrant. It’s almost coming full circle'
Could a revitalised Stretford rival the trendy Greater Manchester outposts like Chorlton, Didsbury and Altrincham once a new masterplan to reshape its town centre comes to fruition? Developers behind the ambitious £28m rebirth of its town centre think so - absolutely, in fact.
And it’s that link with the Victorian era - when Stretford was choc full of little lanes and streets lined with independent shops - which Bruntwood and constructor Caddick are now harking back to. This week, as King Street was newly exposed, so too was the Pinnington Lane street nameplate which had been covered for decades.
He said the town centre would be returned to ‘granular local streets’ with independent retailers as well as a mixture of the national brands. There will be slightly smaller premises to match the size of the area, with ‘more intensity’ than the 'big box retailers on huge estates' which are no longer needed because people are shopping online, Ernst said.
“We’re still working on exactly how that’s going to manifest,” said James, “but there will be definitely food and drink, maybe some street food vendors, maybe markets that come and go and retail presence. King Street is the first phase of a much wider scheme that then allows us to pick up on what retailers will move here. New residential properties will eventually be built out.”
