Community invited to comment on North Manchester General Hospital redevelopment plans

The public consultation, led by our Strategic Communications team, on proposals to transform the North Manchester General Hospital site and deliver an ambitious community regeneration opportunity, is now available.

We are providing expert Planning, Strategic Communications, EIA and Heritage & Townscape services to Manchester City Council, Manchester Health and Care Commissioning and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) who are working together on a vision for a new sustainable health campus at North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH).

The project will provide a focal point for the local community, with connected health and social care facilities, high quality new homes and green travel options, plus access to education and training opportunities alongside more inviting public open spaces.

The transformational development will bring positive change for the community, creating new jobs, promoting healthy lifestyles, developing skills and contributing to a zero-carbon environment for the benefit of local neighbourhoods and the wider city.

The proposals are set out in a draft ‘Strategic Regeneration Framework’ (SRF) document. The document has received initial endorsement by Manchester City Council’s Executive; the next step is to consult local people to help shape the final Framework.

The public consultation is open to all, including

• Hospital staff, patients and visitors
• Local residents, businesses and organisations
• Elected & community representatives, the wider public
• The voluntary, community and social enterprise sector

The NMGH public consultation runs from Thursday 3 December until Friday 29 January. Details of how to get involved are available at https://mft.nhs.uk/transforming-the-future-at-north-manchester-general-hospital/strategic-regeneration-framework  - virtual information events will be held on 15 and 17 December and 6 January.
