Plans for a multi-million pound Salford Youth Zone have been submitted to the city council.
The youth zone, supported by charity, HideOut Youth Zone, and national charity, OnSide, plans to be a state-of-the-art centre with a four-court indoor sports hall, climbing wall, boxing and Mixed Martial Arts facilities and a performance space.
If approved, work will start in August 2023 with an estimated completion date of late 2024.
The new youth zone will be in Pendleton next to Belverdere Road and Broadwalk, a prominent position just off the A6 facing Salford University.
Salford Youth Zone will be open seven days a week, with 20 activities on offer each night.
Young people will also be able to access support from dedicated youth workers – all for just 50p per visit and £5 annual membership.
Adam Farricker, CEO of Manchester-based HideOut Youth Zone, said: “Following feedback from local residents and young people gathered during our consultation period, we are delighted to be able to submit our full planning application to Salford City Council.
“This is a very exciting milestone for all the project partners involved and, most importantly, for the young people of Salford.”
Salford City Mayor, Paul Dennett said: “Having personally seen the success of HideOut Youth Zone and the incredible impact on young people in the area, I believe Salford Youth Zone will be a vital asset and much-needed facility in our city.
“This planning application submission, should it be approved, is the start of what I’m sure will be a great investment in the future of Salford.”
