Regeneration

Salix Homes works in partnership with Salford City Council and other key partners to deliver community regeneration and renewal services in Central Salford. The team is responsible for wide range of renewal activities including the delivery of key elements of the Housing Market Renewal programme.

Housing Market Renewal Programme

The Manchester Salford Pathfinder (MSP) was a partnership established between Manchester and Salford City Councils in 2003 to develop and coordinate a long term strategic programme to restructure the housing market in the parts of both Cities that have suffered from severe population loss and a declining housing market.

The challenge for the team and its partners is to create new neighbourhoods of choice across Central Salford – sustainable areas where people choose to live, work and invest. To date the government has approved £221 million for the first 5 years of the long term programme to deliver this renewal.

The Work of the Team

Some of the key interventions the team are involved in include:

Rehousing and Relocation Assistance: Support to those residents, tenants and owners affected by clearance and the implementation of the Councils relocation assistance policy.

Managing Clearance Areas: Securing empty properties, disconnection of services, public health issues and the demolition process.

Improvements to Housing Stock: External refurbishment of existing housing stock to support development, encourage investment and increase attractiveness of areas to existing and potential new residents.

Environmental and Security Improvements: Encourage and support effective neighbourhood management through environmental improvements, alley gating and streetscaping.

Neighbourhood Planning: Involving residents and partners to make sure our work has the maximum impact for the whole community.

Private rented sector: Supporting effective management of private rented stock and ensuring that new legislative powers are used to their potential to reduce the number of poorly managed properties.
