A RETHINK FOR ALTRINCHAM HIGH STREET - TO GIVE IT A SENSE OF PLACE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME
This vision for the market town of Altrincham’s proposes an exemplar for town centre regeneration in the wake of the closure of major high street chains.
By increasing and blending commercial, retail, leisure and residential offerings in the town centre, the scheme couples the convenience of working where you live, with an increase in footfall that can support a diverse and vibrant retail offer.
Inclusive public realm means better streets and spaces, more greenery and better pedestrian routes across town. The new ‘Stamford Square’ makes a gateway to the transport interchange and connections to Manchester and beyond.
Diversity and vibrancy delivering growth
Outside influences, economic flux, retail trends, and a lack of cohesion of a place can all chip away at the vitality of a town.
The loss of Debenhams and House of Fraser has opened up the opportunity to reshape and disrupt the high street by bringing other uses to Stamford Quarter – and with them bringing diversity, vibrancy and sense of belonging for those that live and work there.
