SWINTON AND PENDLEBURY
ACTION PLAN
APRIL 2002 - 2003
INTRODUCTION
The Community Action Plan (CAP) has been produced by the Swinton and
Pendlebury Community Committee to reflect the key priorities in this area of the City.
The Committee is made up of local Councillors and community representatives, and
supported by a group of "Link Officers" who represent Council Directorates and
related agencies, including Greater Manchester Police and Fire Service. Efforts are
currently being made to involve a link officer to Health Services and local business
interests.
The key issues facing the area / community have been identified as :
1.
Children and young people - provision of accessible and affordable activities
at local neighbourhood level;
2.
Tackling crime and fear of crime.
3.
Working for good quality housing and environment for all residents.
FORMAT OF ACTION PLAN
The Plan follows the same format as the Regeneration Strategy for the City and
gives Directorate objectives for the year. The emphasis of this is "Building
Sustainable Communities" and is addressed under the following headings :
A
Economic Development
B
Social Inclusion
Strengthening Local Communities
Tackling Crime
Children and Young People
Improving Health
C
The Environment
Housing
Land Use
Enginee4ring Design
REVIEW
The Plan will be reviewed regularly, but formally, in October, 2002.

AREA PROFILE
The Swinton SDA comprises three wards, Swinton North, Swinton South and
Pendlebury. Much of the area is a stable and attractive suburban residential area,
though there are pockets of deprivation. The main commercial and retaining areas
are located in the centre of the area, around the Swinton Shopping Centre and the
main Civic Offices for the City of Salford. Retailing, offices and light industrial uses
are also found along the A^^^. The two main industrial areas are the Wardley
Industrial Estate and in the Irwell Valley around Clifton Junction.
POPULATION
In 1998 total population was 38,375. In the Census of 1991 it was 39,086.
The SDA is a mixed area. Swinton South is a stable and relatively prosperous area
of Salford; Swinton North and Pendlebury are fairly similar, although a number of
small pockets of deprivation have begun to appear over recent years, in particular
around the Valley, Poets and Clifton estates.
INDEX OF DEPRIVATION
In the recent Index 2000 both Swinton South and Pendlebury Wards' positions have
improved within the City, with only Swinton North moving up the City ranking.
However, nationally all three wards have moved up the index, in particular Swinton
South has jumped over 3,000 places since 1998.
EMPLOYMENT
The Swinton wards have generally lower rate of unemployment than the national
average. Pendlebury has a higher rate of long-term unemployment, but is still just
below the national average.
CRIME
The crime statistics identify hotspots within the SDA. Swinton Town Centre is a hot
spot for vehicle crime, as is Pendlebury Hospital Central. The Poets Estate has a
high level of juvenile nuisance and is also in the top 10 police beats for burglary of
dwellings. The Valley Estate has high levels for all key crimes.

Phase 2 (site A)
In terms of the Networkcentre Development which was opened in June 2001, Langtree
Group have managed to let 9 out of the 13 available units. A list of the occupying
companies is as follows:
Unit 6 Acumen Seals
Unit 7 Bee Strong Windows
Unit 8 LJF (Glass)
Unit 9 Metfast Ltd
Unit 10 Reflex Choice
Unit 11 Global Telecoms Installation
Unit 12 JB Window Machine Services Ltd
Unit 14 Joseph Clothing Co Ltd
Unit 15 CTM Communications Ltd
As yet I have no job details but have arranged to access the returns sent to English
Partnerships. As an estimate I would guess at the creation of 35 new jobs.
Phase 2 (site B)
An application was submitted and approved late last year by Langtree for two industrial units
one providing 2360 sq m, and a second larger one providing 3361 sq m. The units are
suitable for light industrial or warehouse use and include ancillary two storey offices.
Construction has not commenced and as yet no occupiers have been identified.
Phase 2 (site C)
I am not aware of any developer interest in this site.
Phase 2 (site D)
Securicor are to locate new premises on the site comprising 3,550 sq m. The building shell
and external works are now nearing completion. The 250 jobs will be mostly safeguarded
rather than new.
Phase 2 (site E)
A full application by Nimans has been approved for 3,140 sq m office accommodation and
4,950 sq m warehousing accommodation. This is accommodate business expansion and
they plan to relocate 180 staff from the Quays. No further details on timescales are
available.
Phase 4
Practical completion of the 220,000 sq ft facility for Bunzel is due in April 2002 with phased
occupation by May 2002. 140 existing jobs from the existing Swinton site will be relocated
and the company aims to create a further 80 new jobs.
An outline planning application for development of the balance of the site, comprising a
further 380,000 sq ft of B1, B2 and B8 development was approved by the Planning and
Transport Regulatory Panel some time ago, subject to a Section 106 Agreement. However
the decision notice was only issued last following the applications signature of the Section
106 Agreement.
Update as received by Hollows 15/03/02 on future activity for Phase 3
Following certainty of legal commitments from occupiers on the remaining Phase 2 plots
(hopefully in the next 4 weeks), the first step in relation to Phase 3 will be for NWDA to
commission a Traffic Impact Assessment to establish that this additional land – in total or in
part – can be adequately accessed. I would expect that NWDA can commence this process
in April. Following this confirmation, I currently propose that NWDA carries out site
remediation works and disposes of serviced plots in the same manner as for Phase 2. I
have currently projected the remediation work to commence in 2002.03 and carry on into
2003/04, at which time the serviced plots can be made available. It may be possible to bring
this programme forward, depending on the amount of remediation required and the pre-site
work period.
