Altrincham is Trafford’s largest Town Centre with an historic market, combined with recently developed modern facilities.
It has an excellent array of specialist and independent businesses, major high street names and excellent eateries.
It also has a thriving commercial sector adding to the day-time footfall. A growing Town Centre residential population is further strengthening the vitality of Altrincham.
Altrincham Unlimited is the town’s Business Improvement District (BID), which launched in April 2016. It will generate investment of approximately £1.4m over five years for projects designed to improve the Town Centre and deliver benefits to the local community.
Altrincham town centre is currently going through a public realm improvement programme to cement the town’s reputation as a visitor destination. Read about the latest phase of the programme.
