Lead Member for Housing,
in exercise of the powers conferred on me by Paragraph J (a) (i), of the Scheme of
Delegation of the Council do hereby approve
bringing forward the proposed block improvements to the 83-105 and 111-121
Great Cheetham Street West, Higher Broughton, together with the invitation of
tenders to undertake the works. .
The Reasons are the works are a vital element of the proposed actions to improve
the area as detailed in the Broughton Renewal Area Declaration Report 2006.
Options considered and rejected were take no action.
Assessment of Risk The Broughton Renewal Area lies between 3 high profile
developments within the wider Broughton Area; The Higher Broughton Partnership,
Lower Broughton Regeneration area and the Albert Park Development. Delivery of
this scheme is considered necessary to:

help ensure that conditions within the area do not undermine regeneration
initiatives that are already underway both in the immediate neighbourhood
and in the wider area.

help ensure that investment in the neighbourhood and the wider area
realises its true value.

help minimise migration into the adjacent development areas and avoid a
possible destabilisation of the area.
The overall assessment of the risk in approving the recommendation in this report
is low.
The source of funding is Housing Market renewal Fund.
Legal Advice obtained Ian Sheard.
Financial Advice obtained Nigel Dickens.
