communities, improving their social and economic prospects, with a
need to attract newcomers into the area.

 Over 200 hectares identified for reclamation in the Irwell Valley.
 Site suffers from significant contamination from a wide range of
past industrial uses.
 Focus of the programme will be to assess contamination, treat it
where possible and restore the land for soft-end and recreational
after uses.
 Agreement in principle has been obtained to lease council land to
the Forestry Commission (FC) under the Newlands Programme.
Lease agreements must be secured before FC can draw down
Newlands funding.
 The Forestry Commission is anticipating entering into a 99-year
lease with landowners. It was originally expected that they would
enter in to a 20 year lease, as Newlands funding secures
management and maintenance funding for 20 years. However, the
FC is prepared to enter in to the additional period on an ‘at risk’
basis.
 Coalfield Community Funding of £225k has been secured for the
Clifton area, directly linked to the Newlands work on the LIVIA site.
Groundwork Salford, Manchester and Trafford have taken lead
responsibility for the delivery of this programme on behalf of the
council. Phase I of works at Queensmere Dam to support the work
of Swinton and Pendlebury Angling Club has been completed.
 The Single Programme Proposal Form (SPPF) has been submitted
to the NWDA and if approved up to £365,000 should be released
for 2006/07.
Up to £4m capital over a 5 year period, (dependent on hectares
brought under lease agreements). Approximately £1.5m will provide
at least 15 years management and maintenance. Approximately £0.5
m has already been spent on site investigation work, planning, design,
