As reported in Messenger Newspapers, Trafford Council has given planning approval for a new business park on the old National Grid site at Partington.

The plan is to develop the site over the next few years with up to 27 units which may include research, light industry, workshops, storage or distribution but not (as currently planned) standalone offices.

Partington lies on the western edge of the Borough of Trafford, about half way between Manchester and Warrington centres.
