Have your say on the future of Agecroft Cemetery Chapel

The council is inviting local people to come forward and have their say on the future of Agecroft Cemetery Chapel.

Agecroft Cemetery Chapel is a nationally important Grade II listed building – which was constructed through architectural competition when the cemetery was laid out in 1903 - is currently unused and at Risk and at the present time there is no solution to bring the Chapel back into use. 

Salford City Council will be hosting a drop-in event on Wednesday 15 October from 4pm to 6pm in the council chamber at Salford Civic Centre, Chorley Road.

Councillor Hannah Robinson-Smith Lead Member for Culture, Heritage, Equalities, Sports and Leisure at Salford City Council, said: “The chapel is in poor condition and we know there is strong support to bring it back to life again. It could be transformed into a variety of uses including a cafe, community space for events and meetings or for exhibitions, but most importantly as a building for the community.

“The council has some proposals for the chapel, and have been seeking funding but so far have been unsuccessful. Therefore we are asking local people to come forward to try and shape its future. This is vital if we are to save this much loved and prominent Salford landmark. The event is being publicised through local networks and on social media.

“We want local people who want to make a difference to come together with us so please attend the event if you are interested. It is a historically significant building in our city and we’d love to see it back into use.”
