NEW BROUGHTON MARKET AIMS TO UNITE REGENERATION COMMUNITIES
New Broughton Market
Saturday 1st August 10am-3pm
The Vibe
A market, selling everything from Sauced In Salford sauces to plus-sized clothes, is happening around The Vibe on Broughton Lane next Saturday, which aims to give something to the old and new communities of so-called `New Broughton' that regeneration hasn't provided – and that's not over-priced unaffordable houses!

Following on from its Christmas Market, held outside The Vibe on Broughton Lane, Broughton self-help group, Salford Involved, has decided to make the market a regular event happening on the first Saturday of every month, beginning next Saturday, 1st August.
The New Broughton Market will host stalls selling everything from plus-sized clothes to the unique Sauced IN Salford range of chutneys, jams and salad dressings made by volunteers at the Involved Catering Academy with all profits going towards the Involved's free lunch clubs.
For Salford Involved the stalls are more than a mere market, aiming to fill a gap that the huge regeneration of Lower Broughton has created...
"The Market isn't really about a market, as daft as that sounds" says Nick Burke of Involved which has worked mainly in Broughton and Blackfriars "These areas are going through huge regeneration at the minute and although, I'm sure to some degree, this is really beneficial for the city it seems, at least to me, that nowhere within these plans has anyone thought about the community or what they want.
"You sit down, talk to people from the area and ask them what it is they want, and they won't say `350 more over priced houses we can't afford to live in!', they'll say a post office or a fruit and veg shop" he adds.
"Without over exaggerating things, we have two communities living side by side, literally next door to each other in some cases" he explains "The `old Broughton' people who lived here before they started knocking houses down and building the new builds that saw their long established communities broken, and the `new people' who have taken advantage of the short commute to Manchester city centre and set up home here...
"...and in a nutshell that's what the Market is really about" he says "It's about trying to bring these two communities together; a place to meet. I hear people say quite often `These new people don't contribute to the area, they spend all their time in Manchester and then just come here to sleep!'...I don't know, maybe they do, but why wouldn't they? There's nothing here! That's what the New Broughton Market is about. We have got some great unique stalls, from chutneys to plus sized clothes and everything in between. The shop owners here at The Vibe are really behind us and hopefully the community will be too."
