The public are being being asked for their opinions on £18m plans to redevelop Partington Sports Village. Trafford council successfully bid for £18.3m worth of funding from the government’s Levelling Up fund to carry out the work as part of its sport and physical activity strategy, Trafford Moving.
The ambitious plans include the multi-million-pound refurbishment of Partington Leisure Centre, improvement of the BMX track and associated facilities; the renovation of Cross Lane Park changing rooms and a path around the park to improve access and support walking and running.
The redevelopment programme was approved by the authority’s executive in March, following the successful award of the Levelling Up Fund in February, and aligns with two of the three council priorities - to reduce health inequalities and addressing the climate crisis in the borough.
