Andrew attends ribbon cutting ceremony at Boundary View housing development.

9th January, 2026

Andrew was delighted to recently attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly completed Boundary View development. The 80 homes in Warwick Road South, in Old Trafford, form developer Southway Housing Trust’s largest ever affordable rent and shared ownership scheme. The project aims to help families and individuals who are stuck on housing waiting lists, and to give them a leg up onto the housing ladder.

Andrew said: “I was delighted to see this development from Southway Housing Trust taking shape over the last couple of years. Trafford has a shortage of housing, but in particular a lack of housing available at affordable rent.

“All 80 properties on this site are either available at affordable rent or for shared ownership, and I know that Southway are already working with Trafford Council to help house families in need.”

One resident said she had been “unsettled” for the past eight to nine years, and was living in homeless accommodation for young people when she received a call from Trafford Council telling her she had a flat in the new £18.2 million estate. She said it “didn’t feel real”.

Chyna said: “Sometimes I still can’t believe this has finally happened for me. I have my home, I can plan for the future and look forward to it with real hope for better times ahead.”

Another resident, Elaine, has also moved into one of the new homes with her 17-year-old son. She said: “We were homeless due to unforeseen circumstances. I had been living in my friend’s mum’s house for six months when I contacted Trafford council and they put us in temporary accommodation.

“Trafford Council and Southway Housing Trust have been great with us and it’s a huge relief that we’ve been able to move into this flat. I really missed the community feeling I had where I lived before, but the neighbours are all really nice here.”

A mix of one and two-bed apartments are split across three buildings on the site, with a communal garden also included.
