The Ashton Mayoral Development Zone is a bold initiative driving innovation, opportunity, and inclusive growth in Tameside. Anchored in the thriving sectors of digital, creative, and advanced manufacturing, AMDZ is set to become a key player in Greater Manchester’s frontier industries.
With a focus on nurturing local talent and attracting new investment, AMDZ will transform Ashton into a vibrant, well-connected destination. From revitalised town centres to high-quality homes and green spaces, this zone is designed to be a place where people can live, work, and learn in harmony. The AMDZ is backed by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and governed by a dedicated board. This collaborative approach ensures public sector funding is aligned to unlock the full potential of the zone. A strategic framework is being developed to support employment, housing, and commercial projects, building on existing investments from GMCA and Homes England.
The Ashton Mayoral Development Zone brings together three strategic locations within Greater Manchester’s Eastern Growth Cluster:
Ashton Moss
The largest employment site in Tameside, offering up to 130,000 sq. m of commercial floor space. A prime location for businesses looking to grow and invest.
