Sale Circle Greenspace

Sale Circle is a small collection of shops and community essentials located in Northenden, Manchester. The community space also features a small patch of grassland with shrubs, trees and planters.

Over the years, Sale Circle has become run down and overgrown, leading to cases of fly tipping too. However, thanks to funding from The Neighbourhood Infrastructure Renewal Fund, Groundwork Greater Manchester have been working with Manchester Council to enhance the space for local people and for nature.

After consulting with the local community, Manchester City Council commissioned our landscape architects to redesigned the space to include:

A new pathway running through the greenspace
Relocation of the raised planters
A dedicated space for a feature Christmas tree
New planting, including seasonal bulbs

Groundwork’s landscaping team have helped make the ideas a reality by:

Cutting back overgrown shrubs
Felling overgrown trees
Laying new paths and edging
Installing knee rails around the perimeter
