Safety and Reassurance

By 2021 Trafford will be an exceptionally safe place to live, where crime continually reduces and fear of crime is not a constraint to daily life and investment. Trafford will continue to be the safest area to live in Greater Manchester.

Strong Economy

By 2021 Trafford will have a high performing economy that makes a significant contribution to the Manchester City Region.

Business: Trafford will continue to attract and retain internationally competitive businesses, will have a strong local business base and have positioned itself as the enterprise capital of the North West.

Place: Trafford will provide a high quality, sustainable and competitive environment for investment with plans for Metrolink expansion secured.

People: Trafford will have a well skilled and adaptable workforce which meets the changing needs of the employers. Residents will participate in and benefit from the success of the local economy and the Manchester City Region economy.

Strong Communities

By 2021 Trafford will be the most harmonious place to live in Greater Manchester, where people from different backgrounds get on well together and feel that they belong to their neighbourhood. The majority of residents will be satisfied with services and feel that they can influence decisions in their locality. The borough will have a thriving voluntary and community sector, where more people of all ages and background come together to help support their local communities.

Brighter Futures

By 2021 our aim is that all children and young people are safe and can achieve their potential and are not disadvantaged by physical, emotional, social or economic barriers. They will be supported by excellent schools and services. Families will be engaged in determining the level of service and support they require.

Positive Environmental Impact

By 2021 Trafford will have high quality public spaces, countryside and streetscape that are accessible, well managed, attractive and well used. Fewer resources will be consumed as more residents, businesses and organisations reduce, reuse and recycle. Our impact on the climate will be reduced as less carbon is used in the transport, domestic and business sectors.

Better Homes

By 2021 there will be better housing choice with more new and affordable homes. Homes will be more sustainable as more homes are built on previously developed land and are better designed and environmentally friendly. A wider range of high quality support services will be in place to support people such as the elderly and vulnerable people to stay in their houses for longer and maintain independent living.

Health & Improved Quality of Life for All

By 2021 life expectancy in Trafford will be significantly above the national average and the gaps between the neighbourhoods with the worst and best health will be considerably reduced.

Every school will be excellent with educational inequalities reduced or removed. Residents will be healthy, active and have an improved quality of life with more participating in physical activity, sport and culture.
