The City of Salford is a local government district of Greater Manchester, England, with the status of a city and metropolitan borough. It is named after its largest settlement, Salford, but covers a far larger area which includes the towns of Swinton, Walkden and Eccles which each have a population of over 35,000.[2] It has a population of 218,000.[3]

The borough was formed as part of the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, and is an amalgamation of five former local government districts. It is bound on the east by the River Irwell, which forms its boundary with the city of Manchester, and by the Manchester Ship Canal to the south, which forms its boundary with Trafford.

The borough, which lies directly west of Manchester, has a population of 218,000, and although some parts are highly industrialised, densely populated, and contiguous with one of the United Kingdom's major cities, around one third of the district consists of rural open space, for the most part due the territory in the western half stretching across an ancient peat bog known as Chat Moss.

History

The Local Government Act 1972 created the metropolitan borough on April 1 1974, based on the former County Borough of the City of Salford which included the city centre, Pendleton, Weaste, Claremont, Langworthy, Broughton, Kersal, Ordsall and Seedley.

The metropolitan borough also absorbed the areas of the following local government districts:

Geography

Salford skyline

The borough is bounded to the north by the boroughs of Bolton and Bury, to the south by Trafford, to the west by boroughs of Wigan and Warrington in Cheshire, and to the east by Manchester. The natural mossland of Chat Moss lies in the south western corner of the borough; it covers an area of about 10.6 square miles (27.5 km2) and lies 75 feet (23 m) above sea level.[4] The moss makes up the largest area of prime farmland in Greater Manchester.[5] Greenspace accounts for 55.7% of the City of Salford's total area, domestic buildings and gardens comprise 20.0%, the rest is made up of roads and non-domestic buildings.[6]

Governance

Parliamentary constituencies

The residents of the City of Salford are represented in the British Parliament by Members of Parliament (MPs) for three separate parliamentary constituencies. Salford is represented by Hazel Blears MP (Labour).[7] Eccles is represented by Ian Stewart MP (Labour).[8] Worsley, which also covers parts of the Wigan, is represented by Barbara Keeley MP (Labour).[9] The City of Salford is part of the North West England constituency in the European Parliament. North West England elects nine MEPs, as at 2008 made up of four Conservatives, three from the Labour Party, one Liberal Democrat, and one member of the United Kingdom Independence Party.[10]

Council

The city council offices are located in Swinton, in what was formerly the Swinton and Pendlebury town hall. The metropolitan borough is divided into eight districts for consultative purposes : Ordsall/Langworthy, Claremont/Weaste,East Salford, Eccles, Worsley/Boothstown, Walkden/Little Hulton, Irlam & Cadishead, and Swinton & Pendlebury, based on the areas of the predecessor districts. The borough is entirely unparished. There are 60 councillors representing 20 wards. Swinton and Walkden have six councillors each.[11]

The coat of arms of the City of Salford

The coat of arms of the City of Salford depicts a shuttle surrounded by five bees with a three masted ship above, on a shield flanked by two lions.[13] The blue background with a gold chief is taken from the arms of the County Borough of Salford, who in turn took it from the colours of the Earl of Chester. The shuttle and five bees represent the industry of the area and five settlements who benefited from the textile industry.[13] The ship is borrowed from the crest of the Borough of Eccles and represents the importance of waterways to the borough. The ship is flanked by two millrinds – the centres of millstones – symbolising engineering.[13] The lions are taken from the crest of the Borough of Swinton and Pendlebury; they are wearing iron steel chain representing engineering. The shield is topped by a griffin carrying a pennon depicting three boars' heads. The griffin is taken from the crest of Eccles and the boars' are from the crest of Irlam Urban District.[13] Beneath the shield is a scroll reading salus populi suprema lex, Latin for "the welfare of the people is the highest law".[13]

Population change

The table below details the population change since 1901, including the percentage change since the last available census data. Although the City of Salford has only existed as a Metropolitan Borough since 1974, figures have been generated by combining data from the towns, villages, and civil parishes that would later be constituent parts of the borough.

As of the 2001 UK census, Salford had 155,376 residents aged 16 to 74. 3.0% of these people were students with jobs, 5.9% looking after home or family, 9.5% permanently sick or disabled and 3.9% economically inactive for other reasons. The City of Salford has a high rate of people who are permanently sick and disabled, nearly double the national average of 5.3%.[19]

Salford is home to three rugby league teams. Founded in 1873, Salford City Reds play in National League One at The Willows in Salford.[21] They have experienced two stretches in the Super League, 1997–2002 and 2004–2007.[22][23] They also compete in the Northern Rail Cup which they won in 2003.[24] Construction on a new 22,000 seat £35M stadium for the team,[25] called the City of Salford Stadium, is three months behind schedule and is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2009 season.[26] Swinton Lions were founded in 1866 and play in National League Two at Park Lane.[27] They won the Rugby League Championship six times between 1926 and 1964, before it was superseded by super League.[27] The Broughton Rangers were founded in 1877 and won the Rugby League Challenge Cup in the 1901-02 and 1910-11 seasons.[28] The club folded in 1955, but were reformed in 2007 but the support of Salford city Reds.[29][30]

As of the 2001 UK census, 76.5% of Salford’s residents were Christian, 2,4% Jewish, 1.2% Muslim, 0.3% Hindu, 0.2% Buddhist, and 0.1% Sikh. 11.0% had no religion, 0.2% had an alternative religion and 8.1% did not state their religion.[14] Salford is covered by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford,[37] and the Church of England Diocese of Manchester.[38] During the mid-19th century, there was an influx of Irish people into the Salford area, partly due to The Great Hunger in Ireland.[39] In 1848, Salford Roman Catholic Cathedral was consecrated, reflecting Salford's large Irish-born community at the time.[40]

Of Salford’s six Grade I listed buildings, three are churches. St Augustine's Church, in Pendlebury, was built in 1874 by George Frederick Bodley.[41] The Church of St Mary the Virgin, in Eccles, was originally built in the 13th century but was expanded in the 15th. A church has been on the site since at least the Norman period.[41][42] St Mark's Church, in Worsley, was built in 1846 by George Gilbert Scott.[41] The six Grade II* listed churches are the Church of St Andrew in Eccles,[41][43] the Cathedral Church of St John,[44] the Church of St Luke in Salford,[45] Monton Unitarian Church in Monton,[46] the Church of St Philip in Salford,[47] and the United Reformed Church.[41]
