About Tameside

The opening of the M60 in 2000 has already had a great and positive impact on the local economy, with activity and interest at an all time high. Tameside is the place to do business east of Manchester - officially the best in the north west.

The Borough of Tameside is located 7 miles to the east of Manchester bordering Oldham, High Peak, Manchester and Stockport. Tameside covers 40 square miles and has nine towns within its boundary. Each town enjoys a unique character of its own making Tameside a genuinely diverse place to visit and do business.

Tameside forms part of the Greater Manchester sub region. The partners in the Greater Manchester Forum have developed a sub-regional Economic Development Plan and Tameside’s own plan will complement this document.
