25-storey residential block in Eccles town centre approved

A resident objecting to plans for a £50million block of apartments in Eccles town centre has accused councillors who approved the scheme of 'having pound signs in their eyes'. The 25-storey block of apartments is to be built for rent on the footprint of the former Vauxhall dealership on the corner plot between Peel Street and Albert Street.

"The potential that Eccles town centre has is no secret. There stands to be an extra 500 homes, if you include the Church Street development, and that's a game changer." The Albert Street site will be accessed off Peel Street and the development would provide 27 parking spaces with four disabled bays and six electric vehicle charging bays as well as three motorcycle parking spaces and internal cycle parking for 170 bikes, plus internal storage for two bikes per townhouse.
