Keeping Ancoats’ unique character has been top of the priority list as work has been undertaken to redevelop its streets and squares.
The historic criss-crossed network of streets have been resurfaced with inbuilt traffic calming measures to make it more of a place to wander than a place to race through. New public artworks bring the area’s fascinating past to light and new squares have created interesting places to relax and enjoy the surroundings, all the while monitored and kept safe by a network of CCTV cameras.
