1947 Chester Road estate in Stretford abandoned; L&Q plans demolition, consultation on future development.

The Chester Road estate in Stretford, Greater Manchester, once home to pensioners, has become abandoned and overgrown. Built in 1947, the 38 one-bedroom houses faced demolition due to flood risks and severe damp issues. The Trafford Housing Trust's plans for new homes have stalled, leading to vandalism and theft. The site is now under L&Q's management, which intends to demolish the properties and consult with the community on future developments.
