Well here we are on yet another week in Lower Broughton and I greet you some fabulous news…....... your local team “New Broughton Rangers” won their first ever match on Saturday against Widnes St. Maries and it wasn’t an easy introduction for the league newcomers, as Widnes made it as tough as they could for their debut North West Summer Conference fixture. However, the determination and talent of the New Broughton Rangers open age team won out in the end with the game finishing 28-24 to the visitors.
The team is currently in training for its first ever home game against Copeland, which will take place at the Salford University pitches - Castle Irwell this Saturday (17th May) with a 2.30pm kick off and we are hoping to continue their inaugural season with another victory. So come along and show your support!!!!
So let me give you an update on your surroundings. As you can see if you go to site, Block F is very much up and is being finished at great pace by our wonderful construction team. You will also be able to see that the developments at the junction of Great Clowes Street and Camp Street are also shooting up! Well done to all involved in this because it looks fab! I will post some photographs for you to view as soon as I can.
This week Countryside Properties New Broughton Team, Salix staff and Contour staff have met the lovely staff from Space New Living (housing association within Great Places organisation) who join us to continue into phases 2 and 3 of the development. These guys are very committed to New Broughton and are very experienced in the field of regeneration. So if you see a few new faces in meetings or around the area then say hi!
So until next week people……… take care and I’ll hopefully bump into a few of you at the rugby match on Saturday!!
THE FACT OF THE WEEK: Its British Sandwich Week this week…… try my favourite of:
