Local residents consulted over Man Utd stadium and wider regeneration plans
- Published
The Old Trafford Regeneration project team is launching a survey among local residents next week over its plans for the area.
The news comes in the wake of confirmation that discussions around a potential new stadium for Manchester United will not be completed until 2025.
It had initially been stated the future direction of United鈥檚 plans would be clarified by the end of this year.
After the majority of fans who responded to a club survey said they preferred a new stadium to United remaining at a revamped Old Trafford, residents in the area will be now asked for their thoughts on how the wider plans should look.
The survey will be launched on 13 November and run to 23:59 GMT on 4 December, with all responses remaining anonymous.
United say they intend to host open days at Old Trafford in December "for the local community to attend and hear more about the project and provide their ideas in person".
The project team is a partnership between United, Trafford Council and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
"It is critical we hear from as many residents and community members as possible during this process to ensure we can capture all their views and as we start to shape the plans for the regeneration of the area around the stadium,鈥 said Trafford Council leader Tom Ross.
