About Tameside

       
PARTNERSHIP: Tameside Economic Development Zone  
Supported by £7.1m European Regional Development Fund, from Priority Three, Strategic Regional Investment funds, the EDZ represents one of only 15 such zones in the North West. The funding will be used to support key sites and is expected to lever in £50m investment over a six year period.

The Tameside EDZ: A regionally significant centre for employment growth, strategically located at the gateway between East Manchester and the M60 corridor. A high quality business environment which will project a positive image of the region and which will provide opportunities for the whole of the 'Greater East Manchester' community.

The Tameside EDZ holds a strategic position within the Greater Manchester conurbation. It forms an eastern extension of New East Manchester. It occupies a gateway position with key transport links between Merseyside, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire and onwards to the western European port of Rotterdam and the North European Trade Axis. 

It forms an investment corridor around the newly completed M60 which offers rapid access to the national motorway network. It contains Ashton Moss, Parkway and Eastern Approach, three strategic regional development sites. It will benefit from improved public transport through completion of the Metrolink network through New East Manchester to Ashton-under-Lyne via Droylsden, by 2007.
