Muse confirmed as partner for Eccles regeneration

As strategic regeneration partner, Muse will now look to collaborate with the council to deliver the significant development opportunity at the town centre.

The redevelopment of Eccles Town Centre is a key priority for Salford City Council, as laid out in the 2024-2028 Corporate Plan – This is Our Salford. This plan began with a public consultation to create a shared vision for the town and was followed by the purchase of Eccles Shopping Centre by the council in December 2022.

Currently Eccles Shopping Centre, car park and Eccles Market Hall are being demolished as part of regeneration plans to revitalise the area. Demolition is focused on these areas that were highlighted through the consultation as not working for residents. Following the demolition, the goal will be the development of a modern, vibrant and fit-for-purpose town centre, a place where people can live, eat, meet, and play.

Following the confirmation of Muse as regeneration partner, work will begin on the next stage of public consultation, planned for the autumn. Residents will be invited to share their views on what the transformation of the town centre should look like and their feedback will help shape a joint plan for the future.
