NEWS
Stretford is celebrating the opening of its brand new high street, marking a major milestone in its ambitious masterplan to revitalise the town centre.
There has been a lot of progress behind the hoarding this month as we head towards opening the new high street and public square later this year. Significant advancements have been made in facade and roofing works to bring the (soon to be!) retail units to life.
Here is an update of the works that have taken place since our last Stretford town centre development update at the end of last year.
