VISION - Amec's Vision for Tameside

Matt Crompton
Director of Amec Developments Ltd

Tameside has experienced a renaissance of activity in new and urban regeneration developments including major inward investment projects that have been brought to fruition through partnerships involving businesses, developers, landowners and the Council.

The development of Ashton Moss in Tameside is a classic example of this regeneration and the site is playing a key role in the economic development strategy for the area. It is anticipated that Ashton Moss will generate up to 3,500 jobs and as the number of employment opportunities grows there will be associated benefits for the area through demand for housing and amenities, which will all help to sustain economic growth. In addition, the M60 and the completion of the Metrolink to Ashton town centre will provide easy access for commuters, which, in turn, will strengthen the area's marketability. Ashton Moss is now helping to establish Ashton as a vibrant and new strategic location in the North West.
