About Tameside

The urban design works implemented as part of the re-opening of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal are a current example of the standards and quality of built environment expected by Tameside MBC in any future development.

The M60 Web campaign is the next step in achieving a better built environment.

The Council’s Vision for Good Design

Good design can help promote sustainable development, improve the quality of the existing environment, attract business and investment, reinforce civic pride and a sense of place and underpin the role of towns and villages as centers of social activity. Through an emphasis on quality of design in developments it can also help to secure continued public acceptance of necessary new development.
