Consultations and surveys Ardwick Green NDF consultation

Results

The Ardwick Green NDF consultation (August 2020) asked for the views of Manchester residents and businesses on the vision, core objectives and Neighbourhood Development Framework (NDF) for the area.  The NDF area covers approximately 23 hectares to the north of Manchester city centre.  It is roughly triangular in shape, bounded by the Mancunian Way and the Mayfield Strategic Regeneration Framework area to the north and by Wadeson Road and the Brunswick PFI Neighbourhood Regeneration scheme to the south east.

As part of the latest consultation online, we asked a series of questions around the themes of the NDF and whether people supported or objected to these.  A summary of responses is as follows:

Community Centred Activity: 

  • 74 per cent either strongly agreed or agreed with the vision to continue to engage with the community as proposals emerge and recognising the need for new infrastructure to support existing and new parts of the local community.

Green Public Place Making:

  • 85 per cent either strongly agreed or agreed that Ardwick Green Park should remain a green heart for the community, provide a central point for greening Ardwick and implementing key linkages through environmental improvements to make streets more liveable.

Being Appropriately Ardwick:

  • 62 per cent either strongly agreed or agreed that the area is defined of smaller character areas that need to be appreciated individually so that Ardwick Green can be greater than the sum of its parts.

Harnessing Heritage:

  •  82 per cent expressed strong or very strong support for retaining heritage in the area for the benefit of the local community and allow its history to be understood.  

A place to live, work and play:

  • 65 per cent either strongly agreed or agreed that the SRF should aim to retain and enhance the mixed residential and commercial character of the area as a whole.

Supporting existing residents:

  • 77 per cent either strongly agreed or agreed that existing residential communities should be preserved and enhance through the proposals.
