What is the project?

Jigsaw Homes North has provided Housing and Neighbourhood Management services to the residents of Miles Platting since 2007. Jigsaw Homes North in collaboration with Manchester City Council are now working together to create a new affordable housing scheme for Varley Street.

PLACED has been commissioned to engage with the local community at an early design stage to enable people to share their views about the area to help shape the Varley Street scheme.

The consultation is open from Tuesday 27^th May until Sunday 27^th July 2025

• Step 1: Tell us how you feel about the area today using the text box below

Dates For Engagement

Drop in events: Are you a local organisation or community group? We’d love to come chat to you about the project to hear your views. We’ll be running drop in sessions until Friday 27^th June 2025, where we’ll come to you and bring engagement activities. If you’re interested in having us drop in at one of your community meet ups, please get in touch with Kim to arrange a time that suits your group. We have 8 visits available, so book asap to avoid disappointment!

Once we’ve arranged a date, no need to do anything else - we’ll come to you! All ages and abilities welcome.

Pop-up event: We’ll also be running a pop-up event in July 2025 to share how previous engagement is shaping plans and to provide additional opportunity for local people to share views. The date for this will be shared here once confirmed.

If would like to book a time for us to drop in at one of your community meet ups for a chat and to take part in the engagement activities before Friday 27^th June, please get in touch with Kim to arrange a time that suits your group.
