A report published by the council this week revealed that despite there being around 10,000 residents in Salford Quays, there were no public parks, sports facilities or parks in the ward.

The Lib Dem councillors said the town hall was allowing “every inch” of land in Salford Quays to be developed, and not creating a “balanced mix” of community spaces for residents.

There are plans to further expand the number of homes and businesses located in the Quays, with MediaCityUK set to double in size in future years.

Mr Moore said: “There is little space where people can have a picnic, play sport, let their dog off a lead, or just switch off and relax at the end of a day’s work.

“We believe that the current approach won’t serve future generations well – once it is built on, there is no ability to revisit a decision,” he added.

Salford City Council has been approached for comment.
