One of Salford’s major roads - ‘dominated’ by cars - is set for big changes. A section of Chapel Street, between New Bailey Street and Blackfriars, will get a revamp under plans to boost walking and cycling routes around the city.

It aims to give residents more choices for getting around Salford without having to rely on driving everywhere, with work planned to start this April lasting until February 2026.
