Hi

Hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know about a meeting that is taking place on Monday 30th June 2008 6.30pm – 9.00pm at St Brides Church, Shrewsbury Street.

The meeting is about Old Trafford and will be addressing things such as; What is the future for Old Trafford? How can it be better linked to the surrounding areas? How can the housing be improved? How can the public spaces be made more attractive and safer?

The questions are going to be addressed through a Masterplan being prepared by URBED, an urban design practice based in Manchester. The study has been commissioned by the Trafford Housing Trust, Trafford Council and Old Trafford Neighbourhood Management Board to prepare a plan for improving the Old Trafford area. However, the real client for the work will be the local communities in Old Trafford.

I know you feel really strongly about the area you live and I know how keen you are for improvement on the Tamworth Estate so I thought this would be a great opportunity for you to get involved and help shape the future of Old Trafford.

After the initial meeting there will be a series of public design sessions on the 8th, 9th and 10th July followed by a Red Bus Tour on 13th July taking people to visit good examples of housing schemes in Manchester and another series of sessions on 15th, 16th and 17th July.

Please can you let me know if you would like to attend as I need to pass numbers on?

I am on leave from Friday until 7th July 2008 so if you receive this email after Thursday please email **************@traffordhousingtrust.co.uk to confirm whether you would like to attend.

I will be inviting a couple of other residents off the Tamworth Estate so if you go you hopefully you won’t be the only one.

Speak soon,
