Bruntwood and Trafford Council’s transformation of Foundation, the former Rackhams building, has passed a major development milestone as the removal of the site’s large bridge structures has created a new and exciting gateway to Altrincham’s thriving town centre.
Local Government Boundary Changes
The Commission has now completed its review. They are extremely grateful to the people of Trafford who took the time and effort to send in their views.
The
Commission considered every piece of evidence it received before finalising these recommendations.
The Commission has published its final recommendations for new electoral arrangements for Trafford Council. They are proposing that Trafford should be represented by 63 councillors in future. These recommendations mean that those councillors should represent 21 three-councillor wards across the borough.
For the Wards in Altrincham, Hale, Bowdon, Broadheath & Timperley, the changes can be summarised as follows:
Bowdon Ward – now includes Oldfield Brow
Altrincham Ward – no major changes
Timperley Ward – is now split East to West to give:
Timperley North Ward – which includes the part of the previous Broadheath Ward on the Altrincham side of the Canal.
Timperley Central Ward
Because the Hale Barns ward included parts of Timperley, this has been re-designated:
Hale Barns & Timperley South Ward

The consultation has helped shaped the proposals for the next phase of Altrincham public realm works.

Trafford Council’s Draft Statement of Gambling Principles 2022-2025
The Council is consulting a range of bodies as part of this process including those that represent residents,
local businesses, premises licence holders and other interested parties in the Trafford area.
Our Statement of Gambling Principles is a document we must review every three years
and it sets out our approach to the licensing of gambling premises in Trafford.
It gives clear guidance to licence holders, applicants and people who may comment on
licence applications of our policies and expectations. We are legally obliged to have
regard to our Statement of Gambling Principles when we make decisions on licence applications or reviews.
This year the 10 Greater Manchester Licensing Authorities have agreed to take a common approach
to refreshing their gambling policies; and so our draft statement reflects the principles to be adopted across the region.
Our draft Statement of Gambling Principles 2022-2025 is now available
CLICK HEREwhere you can comment on the proposals by clicking on the link and completing the consultation questionnaire.
Any comments should be received by 5.00 pm on the 3rd September 2021.
