 Who we are
The Urmston Partnership is a
non-profit, self funding organisation
formed to help tackle everyday issues that
affect the town centre and to promote
Urmston. It involves local businesses,
major retailers, developers and
landowners, residents, community groups,
schools, representatives from Trafford
Council and other statutory organisations
working together to ensure our town centre
remains a vibrant area. The Partnership is
a recognised representative organisation
for Urmston businesses and we are
regularly consulted on town centre
proposals and planning applications. All
monies raised are spent in Urmston on
improvements and raising the town’s
profile.
As a local business, community group or
non-profit making organisation, the
Partnership needs your commitment,
enthusiasm and ideas to help the town
fulfil its vision of vitality for the
future.
Specifically, we:
- Bring businesses together to identify
and tackle issues collectively
- Share management information i.e.
visitor or crime statistics, to help our
members make more informed, strategic
decisions
- Help to secure funding to promote
Urmston and for town centre projects to
improve trading conditions
- Link our members with organisations who
can enact positive change by presenting
our concerns in a robust and constructive
manner.
Partnership in Action
The shopping centre redevelopment, car
parking and transportation are always high
on our agenda. We negotiated with Ask
Property Developments and Trafford Council
for a publicity budget to promote existing
businesses whilst the shopping centre
regeneration works take place, the
temporary re-opening of a car park at
Winifred Road and a one way traffic order
on Crofts Bank Road to ensure access to
the town centre whilst road improvement
works were underway.
