Environment
Southway provides and looks after over 6,500 homes in the Greater Manchester and Cheshire areas. But our responsibilities don’t stop there.
We also care for green spaces and areas that everyone can share on our estates.
We take pride in giving our residents places to be close to nature and to enjoy. Our Environment Team works hard in maintaining to keep these areas clean, safe and welcoming for everyone.
This includes looking after the Barlow Hall green space, which is cared for by our Environment Team, the Urban Rangers and our wonderful community volunteers.
Thanks to their hard work, Barlow Hall has been awarded Green Flag status for eight years running. This is a national award for parks and green spaces. We are proud that Barlow Hall has won this.
