Two sites in and around Greater Manchester have been identified among the first 12 'new towns' to be built under Labour . The government is hoping that these developments of 10,000 homes or more will help it hit its target of building 1.5m homes by 2029.

Housing secretary Steve Reed is set to announce the first 12 'new towns' to be taken forward during a speech at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool this afternoon (September 28). However, work on just three of these sites will begin during this Parliament.

Among the schemes on the list is the Victoria North development which is located between Manchester city centre and Collyhurst where 15,000 new homes are planned across seven neighbourhoods with many of the new residential properties set to be 'affordable'.
