A new project - in the shadow of town's towers - seeks to change 'Manchester's DNA'
The latest skyscraper addition to Manchester city centre is called Viadux, and it neighbours Beetham Tower.
While that is the long-term ambition, the National Trust says it now has enough funding to extend the existing park along the rest of Castlefield viaduct, half of which is currently derelict. Should a planning application be approved this summer, building work will start on phase two, as it’s called, next year.
“With all the new development, the residential blocks, there’s a growing population there. It’s really important to link those communities back to the city. At the moment it’s quite a convoluted route to the city, so this will give you an attractive, interesting, direct route into Manchester.” “It’s an antidote to ,” added local Calum McGowan, who chairs resident group Castlefield Forum. “It’s a strip of happiness — not that the new developments are not happy — but it’s a space to come and decompress. There will still be wild bits when it opens, it won’t all be manicured.”
