Permission request from Highways
(June 2024)
SusCoHulme have requested permission for early phases of the NIP to:
- Close Peregrine Street
- Close Chichester Road
- Add 3 in the area new bins, and
- Improve the green space at junction of Blanchard Street and Rook Street
No bins have been reallocated to meet the measured litter demands of St Marys Hulme.
Bin use, and recommendations for reallocation (Feb 2024)
SusCoHulme have collected data from bins which fall within the NIP boundary map, assessed their use by fill level on 2 occasions. We collated the data, have recommended options for relocation, and mapped the changes for clarity. Please see the below.
Road closure talks and reallocating bins
On November 6th 2023 SusCoHulme met with the Manchester City Council’s Waste and Recycling team. We discussed the potential for new bins (phase 1c), the outcomes of the meeting are that SusCoHulme will change the position of bins around the St Marys Development, to better service community litter. Meeting notes below.
November 2023 we received news from Manchester City Council Highways confirming that our scheme is something that would be supported. It is now under consideration how the scheme could be funded, and how best the scheme can be further designed with detail. MCC Highways and SusCoHulme are looking to further develop the scheme in 2024. Communications from MCC Highways below.
How did we fund the consultations?
SusCoHulme applied to the Neighbourhood Investment Fund at Manchester City Council. We received £1500 from the fund. The application we submitted is below.
