ForHousing and Salford City Council have invested half a million pounds in a project to transform Little Hulton District Centre. The project is part of ongoing efforts to revitalise the area and strengthen community pride.

The works, which began in December 2024, have transformed the public space into a more attractive, accessible, and safer place for residents and visitors.

To deliver the project, £250,000 in funding was secured by Salford City Council from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and matched by a further £250,000 investment from ForHousing.

Improvements include new landscaping, improved drainage, and design upgrades to the layout of the pedestrian square, creating a more welcoming and functional space for the community.

The initiative is part of wider efforts to reduce anti-social behaviour through positive engagement and building a sense of ownership and connection to the area.

As part of the project, ForHousing will join forces with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) to host a community planting day, inviting local community groups and residents to get involved in planting the new planters now featured in the centre to contribute positively to their community, develop new skills, and witness the impact of their efforts, fostering a stronger sense of community.

The works have been delivered by contractor Contor Limited, a specialist in new build and refurbishment projects across North West England with a strong commitment to social value, ranging from providing work experience for young people to supporting local charities and groups.
