Project Home
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 27th May until Sunday 27th July 2025

Regeneration of MP has been great, but it is now becoming excessive. The green between Sawley Rd & Rosewell Ave should become a park.

Gio says:
Varley street use should be monitored. Cycling path and speed limit enforcement should be a priority with so many new families moving in.

It's amazing! However if you build lots of houses, where are all the children going to play because that 1 Park is tiny.
