I thought UKChatterbox forum members might be
interested to know that a new development has
begun this year in Salford Quays in the
NorthWest called Media City : UK. This will
be home to 5 departments of the BBC in
2010/11 amongst other media companies. A
pictorial timeline of the development site is
available by searching on 'salford quays
media city uk q3'. The first full sized crane
went up yesterday and 4-5 storeys of the
first building can already be seen on the
site. Judging be the pace of the development,
there is a big push on to meet the 2010/11
date for the first phase completion.
Those currently thinking about a career in
the media by way of a chosen degree (media
studies, photography etc.) might be one of
the 15,500 new jobs to be created between now
and 2011 in the first phase of this build.
Also, the price of properties and especially
flats in the area will almost certainly rise
as a result of the considerable development
occuring in this area with new flats being
built currently. I have worked as an IT
Manager in Salford Quays for 12 years. |
