Regeneration: Greater Manchester

Question: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of how the Old Trafford Regeneration Project will impact the surrounding area, and how they intend to support the project.

Answer: There is significant economic and growth potential around Old Trafford. The development has the potential to make a strong contribution to Greater Manchester’s economy as well as the Government’s growth mission. Making the most of this potential will require co-ordinated and long-term leadership by the Mayor and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), working in partnership with Government and private sector interests. GMCA will receive an integrated funding settlement worth over £600m per annum, starting from 2025-26, and empowering them to drive local growth and invest in local priorities.
