The original Irwell River Park scheme began in 2008 with the goal of creating an active travel route between the City Centre and The Quays, along the River Irwell. The ambitious plans were developed in partnership with Manchester and Trafford Councils.
The previous planning guidance is now over 15 years ago, is outdated, and is no longer adopted by Salford. A refresh is therefore needed. As a result, a new strategy has recently been drafted for Irwell River Park in Salford and plans to improve access to the river.
The public consultation period has now started and will run until Monday 4th November.
The six-week long consultation will invite feedback from the public, via an online survey, which can be accessed via the link below.
