Tameside is an attractive place to live, offering a good quality of life, with easy access to Manchester city centre as well as to the Peak District and this is reflected in the rapid take up of new housing developments. The potential of the housing market is generating significant interest from residential developers and the Council is determined to accelerate the delivery of new residential developments across the borough, including affordable homes.
