We’re all about People Power!
We work with the landowner Trafford Council and their delivery partners Trafford Leisure and Amey, whose role is to run and maintain the site day-to-day. We have worked very hard to understand the aims of these key stakeholders and now have an excellent working relationship with all three.
We thank the following for their generous help with site visits/advice/grants:
