Priority Locations

During the initial community conversation, you shared views on the different priority areas across Eccles Town Centre and how these spaces could be improved. We have used this feedback, alongside the wider themes that emerged, to update and refine these areas.

(e.g. improving the main shopping street, making it easier to walk and cycle, safer crossing points, better connections to the tram and bus station, more space for people to spend time and support local businesses)

Potential Quick Wins

We want to introduce early improvements that can bring more life and confidence back into Eccles Town Centre while longer-term plans move forward.

You told us that early changes should focus on community activity, green space, play and events, creating more reasons for people of all ages to spend time in the town centre.

These early ideas aim to keep the centre active and welcoming, support local businesses and test approaches that can shape future plans.

If redevelopment happens in phases, which location should be prioritised for early delivery and quick wins?

Select only one

Church Street & Regent Street

John William Street

Vicarage Walk & Vicarage Place

No preference

Which of these improvements should be prioritised as early quick wins? (1 being your most preferred).

Drag & drop in order of importance

More green streets and planting

Spaces for children and young people

Small-scale sports uses

Community events and performance space

Temporary seating to create places to meet, sit and relax

New Homes

New homes are a key part of the draft masterplan for Eccles Town Centre.

Around 1,272 homes would be delivered over time, including homes for social rent, affordable housing, private rent and homes to buy. This mix would provide options for families, people looking to downsize, and those hoping to get onto the property ladder for the first time.

Most buildings would be around three storeys tall, with some reaching up to 12 storeys in certain locations. In specific areas near the motorway, taller buildings of around 20–27 storeys could be built, helping create a clear landmark while limiting impacts on surrounding neighbourhoods.

Bringing more people into and around the town centre will help support local businesses and make streets feel livelier and safer throughout the day and evening.

To what extent do you agree with the plan to provide a range of different types of homes in Eccles Town Centre (including affordable and market homes, apartments and family homes, and buildings of different heights) to give more people the option to live in Eccles?
