In a nutshell
A decade of work by Great Places, Manchester City Council and Northmoor Community Association, working with about 15 other key partners, has transformed the Northmoor area of Longsight.
Ten years ago it was a crime-ridden no-go area of boarded-up homes with a disenfranchised, disillusioned community. Now it is a busy, vibrant and diverse place where people want to live, work and invest.
Our journey has taken an area of dense 19th Century housing - poor in quality and choice of size and tenure – and turned it into a neighbourhood that can meet people’s 21st Century needs and aspirations. Now this great location, three miles from Manchester city centre, is revitalised and faces a bright future.
