The Council promotes the reclamation or improvement of derelict, neglected or unsightly land utilising grants.

The Council's role is to facilitate reclamation projects as they are often central to the regeneration of the economy. The Council selects, determines the priorities, and provides finance at an appropriate level for these projects.

The Council is responsible for the implementation of its reclamation schemes. The design work on reclamation schemes is undertaken by engaging engineering consultants and the construction work is undertaken by appointing civil engineering contractors.

The Council commissions design work in conjunction with residents and other council departments and private sector companies. Excellent examples of such work is the reclamation and development of Wood Lane, Partington, Moss View Playing Fields and Hawthorn Lane.

The Team also administers a revenue budget for the maintenance and management of land reclamation sites.
