Trafford Council has bought another property in Stretford at a cost of £800,000.

The authority snapped up the former Royal Mail delivery office on Lacey Street as part of its ongoing plans to regenerate the area.

Contracts were exchanged this week for the vacant building next to the Lacy Street car park, opposite Stretford Mall, which backs on to the Bridgewater canal.

In September, the council purchased three shopping centres, Stretford Mall, Stamford Quarter and Clarendon House, the latter two of which are in Altrincham. All together, three cost £50m.

The building has stood empty since summer 2018 when Royal Mail moved its delivery office to Norton Street in Old Trafford.

The council said it will soon be consulting the public on its plans for Stretford and hopes its latest purchase will widen the possibilities for the area.
