  Cllr George Devlin, Trafford Council's Executive Member for Housing and Advice, said: 

"Trafford, like nearly every borough across the UK, has a shortage of new and affordable housing. This Council is totally committed to providing more new and affordable housing in Trafford and we are working hard to achieve this. 

"We have recently celebrated the completion of a number of new schemes and many are under construction including the huge development at Lumina Village next to the cricket ground in Old Trafford.

"There are also plans to build around 5,000 homes in Carrington and Partington, 2,500 at Davenport Green, 3,000 homes at Trafford Waters next to the Trafford Centre and up to 15,000 homes as part of the regeneration of Old Trafford. There is still lots of work to be done, but Trafford Council is planning carefully for the present and future in terms of house building."
