We have completed 79 affordable new homes as part of the first phase of the regeneration work. This includes a mix of two, three and four-bedroom houses, plus some 2-bedroom apartments for rent.
We were delighted to offer some of the homes to families already living on the estate who had outgrown their previous homes, enabling them to stay in their local community.
The new homes are energy efficient and benefit from high quality insulation and water saving systems, as well as electric vehicle charging points. These will help to save residents' money whilst also being kinder to the environment.
Rebecca Bates moved from a one-bedroomed apartment on the estate to a two-bedroomed house with a garden which she says was ‘life-changing’ for her and her two young daughters.
“They were so excited to get their own bedroom, and they absolutely love being outdoors, so the garden is great.
“Knowing I can just open the doors and they can be safe outside in their own space means the world to me. This is the new start we’ve all been looking forward to. I'm looking forward to making new memories together here.”
A new road linking Epsom Avenue to Hurst Avenue has also been created as part of phase 1 and named Hamilton Avenue, after another famous UK racecourse. The area includes a swale - one of the oldest and most common forms of urban drainage and stormwater. Swale drains also have a role in the maintenance of natural landscapes, to control how water is directed and prevent flooding.
Phase 2 of the regeneration has delivered 22 one-and-two bedroom homes in smaller pockets of land across the estate.
It includes homes which are 'adaptable ready' for customers with disabilities, which are in short supply in Trafford.
Toby, who lives with osteoarthritis and uses a mobility scooter, moved into one of these and said it had been life-changing.
He said: "The fact it’s already set up for my needs with the level access, wet room and wider doorways is amazing. I can fit my perching stools in, have a seat in the shower room and there’s space to store my mobility scooter. These things make such a difference."

Our new contractor Tyson started work on phase 3 in January 2025.
The first part of phase 3 includes a block of 39 homes for social rent.
Blocks two and three – which will begin later – will provide homes for older people and specialist supported housing to help meet local housing need.
Block one is off Thirsk Avenue next to the Sale West Community Centre and Sale West Park.
Block two is off Chepstow Avenue and is next to the Phoenix Garden.
Block 3 is off Ascot Avenue and is next to Ascot House Assessment Centre.
We will also be looking at the opening of the road between Ascot Avenue and Chepstow Avenue in this phase, as well opening the road layout between Thirsk Avenue and Chepstow Avenue and continuing Thirsk Avenue into the car park at the top of Newbury Avenue.
The Phoenix Garden, the woods and the main playgrounds will all remain as is. The Community Allotment will move position slightly more towards Ascot Avenue, but will benefit from new features including a water supply.
You can read more about phase 3 and the temporary arrangements in place whilst work is carried out here.
