Tributes have been paid to a former councillor who pioneered the regeneration of Salford Quays, Ben Wallsworth MBE. He died peacefully in his sleep aged 103, Salford Council has announced.
Mr Wallsworth spent 44 years as a councillor in Salford and is credited with being the visionary behind transforming the derelict Salford docks into today's regenerated Salford Quays. He also received a medal for bravery during service at Dunkirk in World War II. Flags at Salford Civic Centre have been lowered to half mast as a mark of respect.
Salford City Mayor, Paul Dennett, paying tribute to Mr Wallsworth said: "Ben was a true son of Salford, a giant in the history of our proud city. Millions of people now live, work and visit his legacy at Salford Quays and MediaCityUK every year.

"Ben’s vision was to create something new from a huge, disused site and the transformation of Salford Docks which he helped to kickstart has been described as one of the most successful regeneration projects in the UK. Equally important to Ben, who grew up in inner city Ordsall, was protecting and enhancing Salford’s green spaces. His idea to create Worsley Greenway continues to protect open land between Monton and Worsley from development to this day, a legacy Salford City Council fought to retain.
"Ben served his country during World War Two and Salford as a councillor for 44 years afterwards. He rightly deserved being honoured with the Freedom of Salford for his outstanding, lifelong contribution. My thoughts are with his family and friends. He will not be forgotten."
As well as pioneering Salford Quays he is known for creating the Worsley Greenway.
