Eco-friendly homes will be part of new-look town centre
People in Stretford are being asked for their opinions about a plan for 53 new eco-friendly homes in the town.
Residents are being invited to give feedback on plans for apartments and houses set to be built at Lacy Street on a car park that was previously home to the Royal Mail sorting office and probation centre.
The new development will include properties for sale and affordable homes including two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom houses, as well as some three and four-bedroom houses.
It will also involve better public access to the canal front, a protected green space for increasing numbers of commuters and visitors to enjoy.
