5 Key Issues • Number of new dwellings. • Ordsall Riverside. • Public services. • Play areas and open spaces. • New east-west road.
Infrastructure Programme • Most capital receipts and S106 monies ringfenced for local infrastructure works. • Forecast investment budget of £7.5 Million. • Indicative programme of infrastructure works: • Highways works: including East-West vehicle route and North-South pedestrian link. • Public open space improvements and environmental enhancement. • Contribution to the costs of constructing the new primary school and children’s centre. • Acquisition of land and premises to secure development sites.

Mix of uses. • Consultants suggest area could accommodate over 3,000 more dwellings (including family houses). • Long term and less certain.

Review: Public Services Assessment by Service Providers: • Current gaps in provision will be met by Primrose Hill and new Community Hub/Health Centre. • Sea Cadets building provides poor accommodation for youth service, but no commitment to new building. Feedback from Community Consultation: • No evidence of unmet demand for further buildings. • Risk there are too many community meeting rooms.

Review:East West Route • Detailed consultation not held yet. • Hulton Street development will form 1st phase. • Will demonstrate proposed standard of traffic calming. • Proposals to be developed as part of plans for St Clements School site.
