- CEO Collette Roche described the masterplan as a 'significant milestone,' while Trafford Council leader Coun Tom Ross added the initiative starts a 'long journey' to establish a world-class destination for residents and businesses.
- The Old Trafford Regeneration Mayoral Development Corporation, chaired by Sebastian Coe, is backing the plan, which includes future consultations on designs and central areas with building heights reaching up to 40 storeys.
