Manchester and Salford
Richard Elliott
11 July 2011
• Housing Market Renewal Partnership between Manchester and Salford City Councils, working with local communities to restructure the local housing market, has achieved a lot since 2003
• Recession coupled with loss of funding has had major implications for the pace of change and led to the need for new delivery models
• Housing market has inherent strengths but still faces major challenges – continued dis-connect between some communities and employment offer
• Housing growth is an integral part of wider city region growth ambitions
• Scale of task still remaining is considerable
• Levels of Deprivation Still High (MSP area within the most
deprived 10% LSOAs Nationally)

The Way Forward
• Neighbourhoods not yet at the tipping point where private sector
alone can take task of regeneration forward
• Current market means that some public support is still likely to
be required to complete transformation
• High levels of deprivation still endemic in many neighbourhoods
• Private sector jobs growth at the conurbation core requires
residential development momentum to support it
• Multi- phase developments need resources to complete delivery
• Danger of “early movers” feeling isolated in half completed
developments
• Doing nothing is not an option given high costs associated with
management of semi – complete neighbourhoods
Maintaining Momentum
New Delivery Vehicles
• Investing public land as equity
• Deferred land receipts
• Build to rent privately - well managed /
intermediate
• Institutional investment
• Accelerated Development Zones/ Tax Increment
Financing
• Salford and Manchester are committed to continuing to work together – sharing learning and good practice
• Unsuccessful bids through RGF round 1 – poor fit between housing projects and programme
• Exploring potential of other funding sources eg New Homes Bonus and JESSICA/Evergreen Fund
• Critical need to identify a level of resource to maintain the focus on the task in very difficult circumstances –Some limited funding to support transition process
• Desire to continue to work with CLG and HCA to find ways of maintaining momentum
