Area guide: Gorton West
Gorton: West is a small estate about two miles east of the city
centre on the north side of Hyde Road - a major route into Manchester from
the nearby M60 and M67 motorways.
The City Council is asking tenants in this area to consider transferring
their homes out of council ownership to another not-for-profit organisation.
This would bring in millions of pounds to radically improve local homes and
estates. See
