MyMainway is an exciting and ambitious project to improve the Mainway estate for all residents.

Built back in the 1960s, and refurbished in the 1990s, the 257 council homes on Mainway are reaching the point where they need significant investment to address maintenance issues and make them safe and secure for the future.

Doing nothing is not an option, and so the council, working with the Beyond Imagination team at Lancaster University, is exploring ways in which improvements could be made to the homes of all those living on Mainway.

An extensive consultation exercise has taken place to seek Tenant views through a range of events and other activities, with a clear picture emerging of a desire to retain a cohesive community at the Mainway location, to continue social housing at the location to achieve that, and therefore to support a significant renewal of the housing stock. 70% of the Tenants were in favour of change.
