A project to replace dangerous aluminium composite material cladding from five residential blocks managed by Trafford Housing Trust in Old Trafford is due to complete in October after a series of delays.
The project began in spring 2019 and was originally scheduled to complete in April 2020. However, several issues have held up the delivery of the scheme, according to a report to Trafford Council’s scrutiny committee.
The trust cited “reduced labour due to Covid-19″ as one of the reasons for the delay.
Larry Gold, chief executive of Trafford Housing Trust, said: “The safety and wellbeing of our customers is our number one priority. We recognise and would like to apologise to customers that the process took longer than we would have hoped.
Plans PLANS for 174 new homes on the former site of four social housing tower blocks are causing upset. The land off Bold Street in Old Trafford was formerly home to Osprey Court, Raven Court, Falcon Court and Eagle Court and the Sea Hawk pub until these were demolished between 2013 and 2014. Now, Trafford Council and profit-for-purpose housing provider Trafford Housing Trust have launched a joint venture to build new homes on the plot which has stood empty for seven years, as part of the Old Trafford Masterplan to regenerate the area. The homes on the site will be a mixture of homes for private sale, private rent, ‘affordable’ homes and social rent homes and are set to be built sustainably using locally-sourced materials.
