## Resource

In Swinton, Salford, Kellen Homes is proposing to demolish a former toy warehouse and build 216 affordable homes—mixing apartment towers and family houses—with parks, green spaces, and new roads. Designed as a “high-quality new neighborhood,” the project aims to offer lower rent, below-market sales, and shared ownership to help locals access decent housing. Still in planning stages, the proposal is open for community feedback before council submission, offering hope amid a struggling high street and ongoing regeneration challenges from materials like RAAC and asbestos.
